Some people might know me as kuravax.
I am an aspiring computational scientist. At this point, I am a student in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
(NTU) pursuing a degree in Chemistry. I have been participating in research since I was fifteen. Currently I'm working as an
undergraduate researcher at the group of Dr Lu Yunpeng, working on development of algorithms for numerical solution of
Schrodinger equations using potential discretization methods and their applications to chemical kinetics modelling.
You can also find a list of my publications and my projects
on this website. My full resume is also hosted on this website.
I am a holder of various awards and titles, such as NTU President Research Scholar (2024), Latvian Prime Minister Prize for Academic Excellence
(2022, 2023) and a recipient of various scholarships, such as the Latvian Ministry of Finance Centenniary Excellence Scholarship (2023).
I have been a successful Science Olympiad participant. During my school years, I obtained three medals at the highest level of secondary-level academic
competition in Chemistry - the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO), Bronze in 2022, Silvers in 2021, 2023. Nowadays I am writing competition problems for such esteemed contests
as the Baltic Chemistry Olympiad and the Estonian National Chemistry Olympiad. I also coach the national teams of Baltic nations for the International Chemistry Olympiad. You
can find my recommended reading and study guides for Chemistry Olympiads, as well of some of my recorded lectures for the Estonian
IChO preparatory camp here.
