What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging research environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.

I am a dedicated Computational Scientist with over 10 years of experience in applying advanced computational methods to tackle complex challenges in chemistry research. Holding a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry, I have successfully utilized molecular modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, and quantum chemistry techniques to enhance our understanding of semiconductor surfaces, catalytic mechanisms, and combustion processes.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in using molecular modeling software such as Gaussian and GAMESS, alongside programming languages like Python, MATLAB, and Fortran. My work in the pharmaceutical industry has honed my skills in analytical method development and validation, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. I pride myself on my ability to collaborate effectively within interdisciplinary teams, integrating computational insights with experimental data to accelerate scientific discovery.

As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to leverage my expertise in chromatographic methodologies and my passion for scientific inquiry in a dynamic research environment. I am committed to driving innovation and contributing to advancements in the field of chemistry.
