About

I'm a passionate theoretical scientist pursuing my PhD, developing theories and algorithms to capture the complex physical nature of chemistry. Currently, my research focuses on solvation, in particular the development of implicit solvation models from first principles. I actively contribute to ORCA and various open-source projects, developing in Fortran, C++, and sometimes Python, with an emphasis on quantum chemistry methods and statistical mechanics-based approaches. I have supervised several master's students and enjoy teaching and giving lectures, aiming to share knowledge and inspire interest in theoretical and computational chemistry and physics.
