I am a third
year PhD student studying combustion. I aid in the development of our latest
chemical mechanism, USC Mech II, largely by performing validation tests
against existing experimental combustion data. Another
project I enjoy involves studying molecular soot analogues using ab initio and semi-emprical methods.
The goal of this project is to identify classes of aromatic compounds with
stable radical counterparts. I am also
interested in improving my writing skills as a scientist and dispelling the
reputation us engineers have as horrible writers. The Science
of Scientific Writing is a good but technical article that I refer
to, but nothing beats Strunk and White’s The Elements of
Style. My current
resume can be found here. |
