Research Mentoring

As a Postdoctoral Scholar (UCLA, 2023–2025)

  • Mentored 3 graduate students (P. Ajmera, A. Goswami, A. Petersen) in electric-field analysis, QM/MM reaction mechanisms, molecular dynamics, and ML on protein electric fields; contributions supported two Chaturvedi-led publications (Distinct Electric Fields, JACS 2025; Directed Evolution of Protoglobin, JACS 2024)
  • Mentored 2 undergraduate researchers (J. Qian, H. Jayasekara) — co-authored on the Distinct Electric Fields JACS 2025 paper and an artificial-metalloenzyme preprint, respectively
  • Collaborated with the Yang group (UC Irvine) and the Rovis group (Columbia) on a cross-institutional artificial-metalloenzyme project targeting Re(I)-catalyzed CO₂ photoreduction (ChemRxiv preprint, 2025)
  • Advised mentees on manuscript preparation, peer-review responses, and fellowship / NSF ACCESS computational-allocation applications

During Graduate Studies (Michigan Tech, 2018–2022)

  • Trained 3 incoming Ph.D. students in force-field parameter development, molecular dynamics, and QM/MM workflows (HPC job setup, mechanism analysis, data interpretation)
  • Mentored undergraduate researchers (J. Wildey, C. Warner, W. White); contributions yielded two Chaturvedi-led publications (JACS Au 2022; Chem. Eur. J. 2023) and two ACS poster presentations
  • Connected junior lab members with experimental collaborators — Michigan State (Hu / Hausinger groups) on the ethylene-forming enzyme and Oxford (Schofield group) on 2-oxoglutarate-dependent enzymes — to validate computational predictions
