About Me
Hi! I'm Yoshio, an enthusiastic and motivated PhD student at the Institute of Chemistry, UNAM in Mexico City.
My research focuses on developing and benchmarking conceptual density functional theory models to identify the most reactive atoms in molecules undergoing radical attack.
Additionally, I have a deep curiosity and interest in Quantum Tunneling, Solid State Chemistry, and Machine Learning.
