    Working in the group of Prof. Head-Gordon. Studying dispersion interactions using highly accurate methods. Developed an analysis of 4-dimensional dispersion amplitudes from CCSD computations based on sequential Singular Value Decomposition, resulting in very efficient compressed representation of the original tensor. Implementation in C++ in a local version of Q-Chem electronic structure package. Designed and supervised 6-month Master thesis research project for exchange student.

    Working in the group of Prof. David Sherrill on Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory. Optimized disk-based Fock builder code in open-source electronic structure software Psi4 (www.psicode.org) resulting in order of magnitude speed-up for this algorithm. Full derivation of open-shell SAPT0 equations and implementation in Psi4. Supervised exchange student from Brazil conducting a research project in the lab for several months.
