About Me

Hi! I’m Carter, currently a rising senior at the University of Wisconsin-Stout Polytechnic majoring in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science. I’m passionate about mathematics, music, video games, and PC building.

📚 Project Name or Internship Work

Description: Calculating non-covalent bonded molecular interactions is expensive. Top models such as SAPT provide benchmark accuracy but come at high computational cost. The Effective Fragment Potential (EFP) method offers a cheaper alternative using damped energy terms. This project aims to apply ML to improve the damped energy terms, with a final goal of improving the EFP method by incorporating ML into it.
Tech Stack: GAMESS (hosted on Nova HPC), Python
