Research Interests:
Computational Physics
Density Functional Theory
Negative Ion Resonance
Attosecond Physics
Electronic Structure
Nanostructured materials

Current Research:
I have starting research in Adam Wasserman's theoretical chemistry group in Spring 2009. We are studying negative ion resonance and complex scaling. The goal will be to develop first principles techniques to calculate the energies and lifetimes of these resonances with TDDFT.

see http://www.chem.purdue.edu/wasserman/ for more details.
