About Me

I am Minjae Kwen.

I am Minjae Kwen, a Ph.D. student in the Quantum Science and Engineering program of Harvard University.

Research

My primary research interest lies in computational chemistry, focusing on ab initio quantum calculations, especially Density Functional Theory (DFT). I studied reaction mechanisms on the catalyst and nonadiabatic dynamics simulations (surface hopping techniques) on photoelectrochemical devices during my undergraduate.
