I model molecular interactions using computational chemistry, docking, and high-performance computing.

I've conducted computational chemistry research in the United States and Malaysia, including molecular modelling studies of host-guest interactions and molecular docking of small molecules with human estrogen receptor.

I bring doctoral research in physical and computational chemistry, supported by Python, Perl, FORTRAN, C, Linux, HPC, Gaussian, AutoDock Vina, Gromacs, and Amber. My background also includes chemistry teaching and industrial experience.
