I am currently studying the optimization of element-specific parameters for analytic density functional theory.
Previously, I was studying IBr-(CO2)n clusters. Namely, the electronic structure and IR and UV photodissociation of said clusters. This work has been done in collaboration with the Lineberger group.
In case the link in the sidebar is unnoticed, here is another link to my curriculum vitae in PDF format.
