About

I’m a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Li Group at the University of Washington. I completed my Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry at UW in June 2026.

My research focuses on incorporating nuclear quantum effects into electronic structure theory and on developing scalable algorithms for large-scale quantum dynamics simulations.

Specifically, I combine numerical methods with modern high-performance computing architectures to enable calculations at system sizes that are otherwise computationally prohibitive. These efficient implementations allow me to investigate ultrafast dynamics in chemically relevant systems from first principles.

I develop scientific software in Fortran and C++, including work on Gaussian and ChronusQuantum. My work includes leading development of the nuclear–electronic orbital module in Gaussian 25 and developing distributed algorithms with MPI and OpenMP.

Beyond Research

I like to work out and play basketball, and probably watching way too much NBA. I’m fascinated by sports analytics so I occasionally write about interesting statistical findings in Stranger Stats. My training posts cover fitness and powerlifting.
