I am an associate professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Louisville. My work sits at the intersection of molecular simulation, transport phenomena, and interfacial science. I use molecular dynamics and continuum modeling to connect molecular structure to measurable properties such as diffusion, viscosity, and reaction rates. Much of my recent work focuses on lipid membranes and protein–surface interactions relevant to eye health. I care about keeping theory grounded in physical intuition and quantitative modeling rather than black-box computation.
