Comprehensive understanding of quantum mechanics and catalysis
Extensive experience in heterogeneous thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis, including:
- catalyst design
- mechanistic studies
- microkinetic modeling
- reactor modeling

Strong computational expertise in applying quantum mechanical methods to determine electronic structure, catalytic properties, and reaction mechanisms
Demonstrated experience in spectroscopy simulations, including XANES, EXAFS, and Mössbauer spectroscopy
Proficiency in Python and relevant computational platforms
At least 1–2 years of experience adapting and implementing AI/ML methods in catalysis, including:
- machine learning interatomic potentials
- agentic workflows

Experience in proposal writing and funding applications
Experience mentoring postdoctoral researchers and graduate students
Excellent written and oral communication skills
Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
