Delighted to share that I’ll be joining @USC as an Assistant Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering starting in January 2025. @USCViterbi @uscviterbi_ame I’m indebted to my advisors, colleagues, and collaborators who have supported me to reach this career milestone.


🎉 The MolSSI team extends our belated congratulations to Melisa Alkan, our former Software Fellow, on her 2023 ACS Division of Physical Chemistry Graduate Student Award in Theory! 🏆She is currently a postdoc @StanfordUChem @thecompchemist Well done! 👏😀





It’s official! Alice Walker is receiving the @NSF CAREER Award for the proposal: Computational Design of Fluorescent Proteins with Multiscale Excited State QM/MM Methods. Congratulations @arwalker_on_gpu! #WSUchemistry #CompChem

Interested in controlling the excited-state reactivity/selectivity of chromophores via electronic tuning? Check out our (@ListNanna , @toddjmartinez) @CommsChem paper where we use QM to reveal how P-ring engineering can impact GFP photoisomerization yields nature.com/articles/s4200…

My first paper as a postdoc in @mtzlab just came out in @JCIM_JCTC. We wondered how well standard quantum chemistry can compute the XAS of ozone (prototypical biradicaloid) and found that orbital optimized DFT (i.e. ROKS) gives excellent results. #compchem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…



Hot off the press: More GFP engineering! Check out our latest article in @NatureComms to see how we (Yasmin Shamsudin , @arwalker_on_gpu , @toddjmartinez , Boxer Lab at Stanford) used QM/MM and MD simulations to engineer a more efficient split GFP! nature.com/articles/s4146…
