Welcome to HyperBlazer.net!

Well, I still have yet to do any work on the appearance of the site (I was planning to redo my "1998 called and wants its black backgrounds back" site anyway). But for now, I'm happy to just be occasionally adding (or updating) content.

In any case, feel free to browse around until I get things set up properly.

Here are a few things you might be interested in:

Semiclassical Dynamics of Constrained Systems

Under the direction of William H. Miller at The University of California, Berkeley, I worked on applying the semiclassical initial value representation [1] to systems with arbitrary holonomic constraints.

The semiclassical initial value representation (SC-IVR) was originally developed by W.H. Miller in the early 1970s. As computers have improved, it has re-emerged as a practical method to include approximate quantum effects in a wide range of dynamical molecular properties. P.-N. Roy has recently explored the idea of adding constraints to the SC-IVR [2], and I've been working on possible improvements to the framework he developed.

Modeling the potential energy surface of H2-benzene

Under the direction of Prof. Clifford E. Dykstra of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, I used the Molecular Mechanics for Clusters [1] scheme to develop an approximate version of the H2-benzene ab initio potential energy surface. Using previously developed parameters for the H2-H2 interaction, [2] I was able to show that our model represented clusters of H2 around a benzene with good accuracy.
