Research & Teaching Focus

Our research interest focuses on investigating reaction mechanisms, thermochemistry, kinetics, and dynamics of elementary reactions occurring various environments such as combustion, atmosphere, and interstellar mediums using master-equation techniques, molecular dynamics, and high-accuracy potential energy surface calculations. We have offered a chemical kinetics and dynamics course (CHM6720) in Spring.

Education and Training

2002–2006: PhD Chemistry, University of Leuven (KULeuven), Belgium.
