The central theme of my research is to apply tools from quantum science to the studies of molecular structures and chemical reactions. To this end, becoming a member of JQI, one of the world's leading quantum centers, is highly valuable for my research program. Conversely, I hope to leverage my interdisciplinary background in both AMO physics and physical chemistry to help foster synergy between quantum and chemical sciences at UMD.
