I am a Chemistry Ph.D. student at the University of Florida in the Miranda-Quintana Group with a focus on computational chemistry and data science. My main research interest is developing softwares for clustering, data analysis of Molecular simulations, and charge-transfer studies.
Outside of research, I am devoted to outreach toward diversity in STEM and stimulating scientific curiosity. I am also an artist/animator of biomolecules, see portfolio below. I enjoy photography, pilates, investing, and catching up on geopolitics in my free time.
Refining protein structures is important because the accuracy of protein structures influences our understanding of its function and its interactions with other molecules, which can help design new drugs to target specific molecular interactions. Six different ways of determining the native structure of biomolecules were introduced. These methods perfectly mapped all the structural motifs in the studied systems and required unprecedented linear scaling. Easy integration to clustering or simulation data.

 The mystery of ion selectivity in electrolyte solutions has puzzled scientists for centuries with little known why nature is keen on selecting one ion over the other, known as the specific ions effect. This project allows users to predict specific ion effect (SIE) properties through magnitudes extracted from conceptual DFT to approximate the charge and radius of an ion with or without perturbed descriptors and using different models of charge transfer in solution.
