About me
I received my master's degree in molecular science from KTH in 2018 and did my thesis work at the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca in the field of computational chemistry. Currently, I'm a Ph.D. student at the department of theoretical chemistry at KTH and at the department of theoretical chemistry at the university of science and technology of China, USTC.
My main area of research is in the development of novel computational methods within molecular spectroscopy in particular within the framework of response theory. I am a co-author of the quantum chemistry software Veloxchem and the methods that I have developed are modules for efficiently computing quadratic and cubic response functions in high-performance computing enviroments.
My recent publications on this topic are the following:
