Biography
My main research interests comprise of utilizing machine learning to accelerate the computation of molecular electronic properties and utilizing generative machine learning models to accelerate both molecular and material design. Likewise, I am interested in how to improve crystal structure prediction methods using knowledge gained from solid-state DFT calculations.
Outside of chemistry, I am an avid enjoyer of music, cats, and vintage technology.
