Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Santa Monica College ☀️⚗️

🚨 Our @ChemicalScience paper on realistic #datadriven #manybody simulations of #water harvesting 🫧 using #MOFs is featured in @ChemistryWorld! 😎 @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem @HDSIUCSD @SDSC_UCSD 1/2 chemistryworld.com/news/simulatio…

🚨 Hot off the press! Excited to share our latest work in @ChemicalScience on #water harvesting 🫧 using #MOFs! 🎉 👉 doi.org/10.1039/D3SC06… Led by former #PhD student and now professor @KellyHunter19, our study leverages advanced #compchem simulations 🖥️ with our MB-pol #datadriven #manybody potential of #water 🌊 to decode the mechanisms of #water adsorption in #MOFs, one molecule at a time💧. Our analyses reveal how swapping out the halide atoms of the frameworks modulates the adsorption process by templating the formation of initially disconnected and then extended hydrogen-bond networks as #water molecules fill the #MOFs pores. 🏄♀️ We hope that our molecular-level details connecting structural properties with #infrared spectra can guide the design of tailored #MOFs with higher #water adsorption capacity for #water harvesting applications in #water-scarce regions.🌍 Stay tuned, stay hydrated, and use our #datadriven #manybody software for realistic #compchem simulations of #water and beyond! 😎 👉 MBX: github.com/paesanilab/MBX 👉 MB-Fit: github.com/paesanilab/MB-… Many thanks to @NSF for funding this research and @ACCESSforCI for CPU time! @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem @HDSIUCSD @SDSC_UCSD

Dr. @KellyHunter19 said yes! Under the stars there is no brighter star than she is! So excited to begin this new life journey with the best partner anyone could ask for. Nothing is impossible with you by my side.


Just like that, my final day in the @PaesaniLab has come to a close. It’s been a fun and wild ride for the past five years, but I wouldn’t change a thing about my research, lab mates, or a day in @UCSDChemBiochem. Thank you for all the memories, now it’s on to the next adventure!



How it started, how it's going... Congrats Dr. @KellyHunter19, Dr. @kartik_lakshmi, and Dr. Teri Lambros! #rigorouspreciseandfun #OnceAPirateAlwaysAPirate @UCSanDiego @UCSDPhySci @UCSDChemBiochem @SDSC_UCSD @ucsdgraddiv @ucsdgradlife @PhDVoice

Cheers Dr. Hunter! Kelly has successfully defended her thesis titled "Theoretical Modeling of Water Confined in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Atmospheric Water Capture". Kelly is a superstar and has made great contributions to #compchem. A true #pirate! We wish you all the best!
