B.S., Chemistry, University of Michigan (2006) Research Interests: My research primarily involves reactions involving actinides, in particular reactions with the uranyl dication (UO22+). Interactions of uranyl with water, carbonyls (RCO), and nitriles (RCN) have been of primary interest. Additionally, work is being done to take advantage of the vast computational capacity of graphics processors using the CUDA extension to the C language. Favorite Color: Green Favorite Food: Habanero Cheesecake a la Mode Favorite Number: 23 |

B.A., Biology and Chemistry, Augustana College (2004) Research Interests: I'm interested in nonadiabatics for both applications and methods development. At the moment, we are using surface hopping to investigate ethylene plus oxygen system. Such studies will hopefully provide more clues as to how to go beyond the independent trajectory approximation in a computationally feasible manner. Favorite Color: Green Favorite Food: Pizza Favorite Hobby: Billards |
