Hi! I’m a scientific software developer with a PhD in Macromolecular Science and Scientific Computing.

I use this website to share projects I’ve worked on.

Software Projects

dynamic bonding in HOOMD-blue: A fork of HOOMD-blue that enables dynamic bonding (bonds can break and re-form at each timestep)

on-the-fly autocorrelation with HOOMD-blue: A HOOMD-blue plug-in that allows for on-the-fly multi-tau autocorrelation, using the code accompanying this paper by Ramírez et al.

modeling the CTA with networkx: Final project for CMPLXSYS 535 (Computer Modeling of Complex Systems) with Prof. Marisa Eisenberg. Demonstrates a neat way to interact with CTA data in jupyter notebook using networkx.

Community Projects

REACT: In 2017 we founded REACT, a free one-day workshop for K-12 teachers led by grad students at U of M. Check out the website for downloadable activity guides! REACT is no longer at the University of Michigan, but continues on in Cornell’s Materials Science and Engineering Dept.
