Roman Korol

Hi, I am Roman Korol, a postdoctoral fellow in Theoretical Chemistry, a member of the Franco group at University of Rochester. I come from Lutsk, Ukraine. I got my PhD at Caltech and my Undergrad in Chemistry at the University of Toronto, Canada. I enjoy learning new stuff, teaching, listening to audiobooks and working out. I am also an amateur Ukrainian folk dancer.

I am interested in dynamics of "large" quantum systems. At Caltech I worked with Prof. Thomas F. Miller III and Prof. William A. Goddard III. I developed and applied semiclassical methods based on Feynman's path-integral approach. During my Undergrad, I mostly worked with Prof. Dvira Segal on conductance of DNA molecular wires. Also I studied protein folding with Prof. Jeremy Schofield and even made molecules in the lab!

These courses, books and video lectures helped me learn the concepts as well as excellent teaching techniques from world-class educators.
