Since September 2007, I have been a faculty member at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA. In October of 2023, I was named Dean of the College of Engineering and Science. My office is located in Bogard Hall room 201. I still carry out some research, which is primarily computational in nature, including the study of phase equilibria, properties of aqueous interfaces, polymer structure and properties, but more lately, I have been primarily working on solid-state systems. These include investigating battery electrodes, ceramic-metal interfaces, complex conjugated alloys, shape memory polymers, and developing molecular models, algorithms, and automated codes for these. I teach or have taught physical chemistry lectures and laboratories, statistical mechanics, environmental chemistry, polymer chemistry, advanced quantum mechanics, and general chemistry courses depending on the quarter. If you are more interested in me, personal and professional info are provided below.
