Gagliardi group awarded massively parallel processing hours.
Laura and Don Truhlar, along with some of the postdocs in the Gagliardi group, were awarded 229,000 massively parallel processing (MPP) hours for computing projects at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) for 2017, as part of the efforts of the Inorganometallic Catalyst Design Center (ICDC), of which Laura is the Director. Read the story on the Department of Chemistry web site.
Dale Pahls accepts a postdoctoral researcher position.
Postdoc Dale Pahls has accepted a postdoctoral researcher position in the Materials Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Illinois. We wish you the best, Dale!
New postdoc joins the group.
Jingyun Ye joined the group as a postdoctoral researcher. She is co-advised by Laura, Chris Cramer, and Don Truhlar. Welcome, Jingyun!
First-year graduate student Matt Simons has joined the Gagliardi Group.
He is co-advised by Aditya Bhan in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS). Welcome to Matt.
Laura was one of the members of a Nanoporous Materials Genome Center (NMGC) team that has created a game that will teach young people about nanotechnology, engage them in working on a real-world problem and spark their creativity to build structures that will help solve a troublesome real-world environmental issue.
Sam Stoneburner, now a third-year graduate student, received the 2016 Robert and Jill DeMaster Fellowship, one of the Department of Chemistry’s Excellence Awards.
Sam was also invited by his undergraduate institution, Hillsdale College, to give an invited talk, “Catechol-Ligated Transition Metals: A Quantum Chemical Study on a Promising System for Gas Separation,” and to meet with current undergraduates to tell them about life in graduate school. Congratulations to Sam on both of these accomplishments!
