Laura visits Texas A&M University!
Laura gave a seminar at Texas A&M University on February 20.
Aleksandr Lykhin joins the Gagliardi group as a postdoc!
Aleksandr Lykhin has joined the group as a postdoc after recently completing his Ph.D. in the Varganov group at the University of Nevada, Reno.He is interested in spin-forbidden kinetics and catalysis. Welcome, Alex!
Gagliardi group gains four first-year graduate students!
The group welcomes four first-year graduate students: Yogev Gluzman, Daniel King, Anushrut Mishra, and Abhishek Mitra.We are glad to have you with us!
Dragan Conić visits Gagliardi group!
Dragan Conić, a Ph.D. student at the Department of Chemistry at KU Leuven in Belgium, joins the group as a visiting scholar during Fall 2019 to collaborate with Gagliardi Group members on a computational study of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).Welcome, Dragan!
Laura has received the American Chemical Society’s 2020 Peter Debye Award in Physical Chemistry.
She is honored for her leadership in developing and applying quantum mechanical electronic structure methods to multi-configurational problems in bonding, catalysis, and inorganometallic chemistry.
Laura has been elected as a member to the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science (IAQMS).
The IAQMS is an international scientific society, covering applications of quantum theory, including chemistry and chemical physics. IAQMS members are chosen because of their distinguished scientific work, and their leadership in the application of quantum mechanics to the study of molecules and macromolecules.
Sam Stoneburner successfully defended his doctoral thesis!
On June 11, graduate student, Sam Stoneburner successfully defended his doctoral thesis, “Accurate quantum mechanical study of singlet-triplet gaps in organic radicals and of metal catecholates for air separation in metal organic frameworks.”Dr. Stoneburner will head next to a faculty position at Messiah College in Pennsylvania. Congratulations, Sam!
