I have experience with the quantum dynamics of various systems—from particles in disordered lattices to molecules in magnetic fields—and with solving the electronic Hamiltonian using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). My strengths include drawing on information and ideas from differing fields, identifying the weak points of an idea, and pinpointing the keys components needed for a minimum viable product. If you want a perspective from left field, want to test out your ideas, or need help prioritizing, come on over!
