Hi! I'm Daniil!
Welcome to my website!

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 high-performance computer algorithms for chemical reaction dynamics simulations using the time-dependent quantum reactive scattering theory. We also work with machine learning and neural networks for accelerating potential energy surface creation, as well as classical computational chemistry. My research interests lie in new theoretical approaches to handle complex gas-surface reactions on covalent catalysts for which you cannot apply classical Born Oppenheimer static surface approximations or thermal averaging methods.

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 also have been teaching Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics to others since my youth, and also occasionally write problems for various Chemistry contests. You can find some of my materials here.
