Student and Research in Santa Barbara, CA
Currently pursuing B.S. in Biochemistry from the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
My ongoing projects include:
• Quantum mechanical predictions of vibrational circular dichroism spectra: (1) determine a set of computational approaches that are suitable for the prediction of VCD spectra and (2) create a web-based workflow to facilitate VCD calculations by non-specialists. This UI will support a variety of projects in the department using a recently acquired infrared spectrometer and a VCD module.
• UCSBSensors: developing scripts to parse and analyze data collected from remote Arable Mark sensors. Integration with CCBER's website will allow this data to be open-access.
Research Interests:
Computational Chemistry • Medical Technologies • Drug Design
