Freelance Chemist & Scientific Programmer (C & Pyhton). Experienced in scientific writting. 5+ years of research exp.

Profile Summary

I have a PhD in chemistry. To be more specific, my areas of expertise is computational chemistry and computational catalysis. Since these areas needs some programming skills, I have basis knowledge in scientific programming in C and Python, as well as other language. My research projects have focused, mainly, on the study of chemical reactions that allow the production of fossil fuel-free alternative energy.
