Research Experience
Research Assistant (Texas Tech University, Dr. L. William Poirier)
2010-Present
- Developed quantum hydrodynamic trajectory simulation algorithms, with similar computational cost as a classical algorithm, to calculate chemical reactive scattering quantities.
- Implemented novel microcanonical statistical simulation called “phase space approximation”, to incorporate quantum structural effects into the quantum simulations described above.
- Programmed hybrid MPI-multithread code, and operated supercomputer clusters, to analyze performance of the above technique vs. the traditional exact quantum dynamics approach (discrete variable representation).
- Analyzed 2D and 3D data visualization to validate the accuracy of the novel approach.
