My research lies at the intersection of physical chemistry, quantum statistical mechanics, and vibrational structure theory. I am particularly interested in developing computational methods to model quantum anharmonic vibrational spectra and thermal properties of large molecular systems, using tools such as density matrix formalism. With a strong passion for programming, I create software to advance these capabilities. I am especially intrigued by the structure–function relationships in biomolecules and molecular clusters, and I continuously explore quantum mechanical frameworks to better understand these complex systems.
