As a computational chemist focusing on crystallography, I'm excited about the new insights from quantum chemistry, especially about how it changes our view of chemical bonds, their properties and the wide-ranging applications. I enjoy diving into programming, data analysis, and computational modeling, and this role lets me combine my interests with my work.
For my master thesis, I'm investigating the structural changes of the natural zeolites Mordenite and Offretite upon the exchange of their extra-framework cations and their influence on the thermal stability and sorption capacity of the minerals.
