What is your project?
We perform calculations using Gaussian and QChem to better understand pyrazine carbon systems. 

Why is it interesting?
We are amazed with Density Functional Theory due to its specific applications in batteries. We are curious about computational chemistry because of our exposure to it in Physical Chemistry II, and its overlap with other classes that we have taken.  

Why are you passionate about chemistry?
We had great experiences with chemistry in both high school and our undergraduate courses. Chemistry is fun!

Why this group?
Solving chemistry problems using computers is a new skill to us, and we enjoyed the interesting teaching style provided by Dr. Shepherd in Physical Chemistry II.
