PROFILE
Sevy Harris
Contributed to the ReactionMechanismGenerator/RMG-database by expanding surface chemistry simulation capabilities and enhancing data reliability. Developed a new database entry for the Fe(110) metal facet, including binding energies and surface site density, to support more accurate modeling of catalytic processes. Addressed charge neutrality enforcement in the Surface_Dissociation_vdW group, resolving test inconsistencies and improving simulation realism. Added thermochemical data for peroxy hydroperoxy-alkyl radicals by curating literature sources and structuring the data for seamless integration. Leveraged Python for data modeling and database management, applying computational chemistry and materials science expertise to improve predictive accuracy and support future database extensions.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 Monthly Summary (ReactionMechanismGenerator/RMG-database) Key features delivered: - Added thermochemical data for peroxy hydroperoxy-alkyl radicals to the RMG-database by introducing a new Python data entry Elliott_OOQOOH.py. The file compiles thermochemical data for multiple peroxy hydroperoxy-alkyl radical species, sourced from a peer-reviewed paper, with data structured for seamless integration into the chemical kinetics database. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Expanded the database coverage for high-alkyl peroxy chemistry, enabling more accurate and comprehensive kinetic modeling of radical-involved oxidation and combustion processes. - Created a literature-backed data resource, improving predictive capability for thermo-chemical properties of challenging radical species, which supports more reliable simulations and sensitivity analyses. - The data entry lays groundwork for future updates and cross-repository usage, increasing reusability and consistency across RMG components. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python data modeling and file creation suitable for database ingestion - Literature data curation and translation into a machine-friendly format - Version control discipline with traceable commits and clear documentation - Collaboration readiness for database integration and future expansions
