Starting with a molecular structure, bulk structure was modeled through a series of different iterative methods. Once a bulk structure was determined, quantum chemistry was applied to determine charge hop coefficients for electrons/holes between different molecular sites within the bulk structure. Finally using the structure and coefficients a Kinetic Monte Carlo method was employed with contacts placed on either side of the bulk material to determine the charge properties of the molecule when in bulk formation.In addition to the research, I was an active member of the department, teaching undergraduate labs, 1st and 2nd year problems classes, and co-wrote/taught/assessed a 3rd year computational physics module.
