I am Daniel Gibney, a chemistry postdoctoral scholar at the University of Minnesota working with Dr. Nik Boyn on developing and applying physics based approaches to predict chemical properties without the need to enter a lab. One of my approach combines the benefits of Density Functional Theory, it’s low computational scaling and description of weakly correlated electrons, and 1-Electron Reduced Density Matrices, to capture the missing strongly correlated electronic effects. If you’re interested in learning more about my research; you can read more about it here.
When I’m not working on my research, I spend my time working on my personal projects and hobbies (some of which you can find here), hanging out with friends, and biking around the city.
