​I am a computational scientist with extensive experience in applying hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM), molecular dynamics and QM methods to problems in the physical and biological sciences.

My PhD training was in combined spectroscopic techniques and computational studies on small molecules. After my PhD, I extended my experience applying computational chemistry methods to complex systems in the fields of biological and material sciences while working in several international labs, before taking-up my current role in the Computational Chemistry Group here at Daresbury. 

My scientific interests in general include understanding the structure and function relationship in proteins, the enzyme functions and emission properties of chromophores present in biological systems, and those used in solar cells.​
