My research primarily focuses on the areas of Molecular Modeling, and Curriculum Development. In the area of Molecular Modeling, I focus on determining thermodynamic values for systems in which it may be difficult to isolate a specific species, such as chemical intermediates. In the area of Curriculum Development, I am interested in developing computer-aided resources in support of chemistry curricula. I am particularly interested in of such resources.
I am also continually working on my OER textbooks for physical chemistry, which I make available free of charge through the .
