As a quantum physicist, I specialize in quantum mechanical calculations and molecular simulations. Having earned my Ph.D. in physics from Michigan Tech University, where I delved into the theoretical investigation of optical behaviors in 2D materials and the mechanics of polymer composites at the molecular level, I furthered my expertise through an internship at Los Alamos National Lab, focusing on magnetic materials. I’m working at the University of Tennessee as a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Nuclear Engineering with Dr. Brian. My current focus involves anticipating plasma-surface interactions and assessing hydrogen/helium retention behaviors within tungsten-based plasma-facing components. I have actively engaged in coordinating both national and international large-scale research collaborations. My enthusiasm lies in learning about and implementing how high-performance computing can address intricate real-world challenges.
