I believe an effective teacher creatively engages their students and encourages them to take an active part in the learning process. In the classroom, I view my role as a facilitator - assisting students as they construct knowledge and draw conclusions by analyzing data and discussing ideas. |

Theoretical
and computational models provide a powerful tool for the study of chemical
dynamics. Our research involves the application of computational methods
to study the dynamic behavior and thermodynamic properties of complex systems
using a variety of techniques including electronic structure calculations,
Monte-Carlo, molecular dynamics, and stochastic dynamics simulations. |
