Farewell and Best Wishes to Dr. Leon Otis
The Gagliardi Group recently celebrated Leon Otis at a farewell party as he prepares to embark on a new journey. Leon will be joining Rice University as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of James Shee. We are excited to see him begin this new chapter and wish him continued success in his future endeavors!
Gagliardi Group’s Summer Get-together
The Gagliardi Group recently met up at Lake Michigan to enjoy a summer afternoon. They enjoyed chatting, strengthening friendships, and eating great food. It was a refreshing afternoon full of laughter and memorable moments together.
Bhavnesh Jangid has received the Olshansky Graduate Student Travel Award
Bhavnesh will use the travel award to attend the American Conference on Theoretical Chemistry 2024 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. https://www.actc2024.org/
He will present a poster on his recent work on “Quantum Embedding based approaches for the core-level spectroscopy simulations”. In this work, he had presented the scalable and cost-effective simulation of core IP of large systems with highly expensive methods like EOM-CC.
Congratulations Bhavnesh!
Abhishek Mitra has accomplished the defense of his PhD thesis with success!
Abhishek Mitra successfully defended his PhD thesis titled “Fragmentation-Based Quantum Chemistry on Classical and Quantum Computers”. In July, he will join the Department of Research Education & Training Center (RETC) at Cleveland Clinic as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Dr. Kenneth Merz. We wish Abhishek all the best in his future endeavors!
