Hello! I'm a chemistry professor and department chair at Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi. My academic background lies in computational chemistry, particularly in electronic structure theory and its application to small and medium-sized molecules. I use ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) methods to investigate molecular geometries, spectral properties, and relative energetics.
I actively incorporate programming and data analytics into my teaching, particularly in the areas of chemistry, scientific computing, and data visualization. This GitHub profile serves as a place to share:
- Teaching materials and example scripts for students
- Utility scripts used in computational chemistry workflows (e.g., Psi4, NWChem)
- Data analysis tools written in Python and used in the classroom or for academic projects
- Position: Chair and Professor of Chemistry at Belhaven University
- Expertise: Computational chemistry, electronic structure theory, Python scripting, undergraduate education
- Tools Used: Psi4, NWChem, Python, Jupyter, Mathematica, Excel
