Department: Chemistry

Faculty Advisor: Xiaosong Li

I am a 4th year chemistry Ph.D. student at the University of Washington working under Xiaosong Li. My research focuses on developing fast and accurate computational models to study molecular systems using quantum mechanics and special relativity. I use these models to aid the design of solar cells by improving conversion efficiency. Outside of academic life, I am a US Army Reserve Civil Affairs Officer acting as a liaison between civilian and military authorities in the Asia-Pacific region.
