About My Research
I'm a computational chemist working at the intersection of artificial intelligence and molecular design. My research focuses on understanding and designing photostable organic materials using quantum chemical methods and machine learning approaches.
Currently, I'm developing AI-guided fluorophores for biomedical imaging applications, particularly photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. By combining quantum mechanical simulations (TD-DFT, CASSCF, CASPT2) with machine learning predictions, I aim to accelerate the discovery of next-generation molecular probes.
Previously, I completed my PhD at SUTD investigating excited-state conformational dynamics of organic dyes. I've also spent time as a visiting researcher at UCL and Queen Mary University in London, collaborating on photostability mechanisms and nonadiabatic dynamics simulations.
