Professional Experience

Gautam Stroscio earned his Ph.D. in 2021 from the Califorina Institute of Technology. At Caltech, in the group of Prof. Ryan Hadt, Gautam used multireference methods to study first-row transition metal complexes with promise for energy and catalysis. In the Gagliardi group, he has been studying the electronic structural origins and extents of structural distortions in metal-organic frameworks, and he has been using DMRG-PDFT to study transition metal complexes.
