We are thrilled to congratulate Dr. Arturo Sauza de la Vega on the successful defense of his PhD thesis, “Multireference Studies of Transition Metal and Actinide Containing Molecular Systems”, at the University of Chicago’s Department of Chemistry. Arturo defended his dissertation on June 5, 2025, presenting a seminar that showcased his innovative work on multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory and its application to molecular qubits.
Next, Arturo will join the University of Iowa as a postdoctoral scholar in the research group of Professor Bess Vlaisavljevich, where he will focus on actinide-containing molecular systems using relativistic four-component computational methods.
Congratulations once again, Dr. Sauza de la Vega! We are excited to see where your research leads next!
