Research
My research can be classified into two distinct areas: Computational Chemistry and Chemical Education.
My research in the field of Computational Chemistry involves applying computer simulation techniques to study the processes that occur at the solid-liquid interface, which include adsorption of species and pollutants to surfaces, dissolution, crystal growth, and aggregation.
In the field of Chemical Education, I am interested in developing and using technology to enhance the learning and transferable skills in the chemistry undergraduate laboratories.
