I am a NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. My Erdös number is no greater than three.

Recent calculations

Probing classical proton transfer in the zundel cation with a reactive force-field and measures of chaos.

Research interests

Theoretical chemical physics is my primary field of interest, particularly as it applies to dynamically complex systems. I develop theoretical and computational methods, test theory with numerical calculations, and complement experimental studies of single molecules. Currently, dynamical systems, computational mechanics, and statistical mechanics are being investigated motivated by challenging questions in chemistry. This work on small, nanoscale systems far from equilibrium has further implications in physics and applied mathematics.
