Just 200 days until the end of my term as Department Chair. I'm ticking down the days one by one!

NYU ranked #1 in NYC, #7 among private universities and #15 nationally in R&D expenditures. Our Simons Center for Computational Physical Chemistry was cited as a major contributor to this and made NYU news:

Our joint experimental/theoretical study of CO2 conversion: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… was written up by the CWRU Daily: thedaily.case.edu/groundbreaking… Our small-ish contribution was still a cool and fun project in our EFRC: engineering.case.edu/research/cente…

My first paper on active matter and control via light patterning with a great group of theorists and experimentalists at both NYU and UMass.

Yesterday, NYU Chemistry held a memorial symposium for our late colleague, Prof. Martin Pope, a pioneer in the field of organic #semiconductor materials. Prof. Pope passed away last March at the age of 103. Here, we see his grandson and daughter relating stories about him.

Of course, I'm happy to win over organic chemistry, but did I really beat out the snake? #pythonprogramming

Seeing the Durga Puja in Kanpur was an amazing experience. #DurgaPuja2023

Group members Drs. Leslie Vogt and Jutta Rogal explain to a troop of your dancers about crystal packing. Outreach for our U.S. National Science Foundation DMREF project.

Our paper describing our interoperable implementation of collective-variable enhanced sampling methods in the OpenMM package (what we are calling UFEDMM, named for the unified free energy dynamics method) is now online: doi.org/10.1002/jcc.27…
