I'm excited to share that I'll be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department at the University of California, Merced in January 2024! Looking forward to joining the great community UC Merced Chemistry UC Merced Nat Sci UC Merced !



Tired of energy barriers hindering global optimization? Do as @AndreasSlavensky: build a simpler, complementary energy landscape using e.g. #SOAP and Gaussian kernels. Then use that to accelerate structure search. #CompChem. Just published in The Journal of Chemical Physics: doi.org/10.1063/5.0156…


PLEASE RETWEET: I have a 4-year PhD studentship available UoBChemistry on using #compchem to find new wide band gap oxides for optoelectronic applications. Want to increase efficiency in solar cells and power electronics, then this is for you! tinyurl.com/3nrb5tka


Defect calculations are often performed at 0 K - yet finite temperature effects can be important!🌡️ Explored in our Tutorial Review targeting the main contributions to defect free energies - with Seán Kavanagh Kasper Tolborg Johan Klarbring & Aron arxiv.org/abs/2307.10451


How well do potentials reproduce carbon's phase diagram, where are the pitfalls and how to improve them? Look at our recent paper in NPJ CompMat with Georgia Marchant 🏳️⚧️ 🇵🇸 Miguel Caro Bora Karasulu rdcu.be/difqy

We have a few immediate postdoc openings WashU Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering in the field of catalysis. We are looking for candidates with strong background in thermochemical or electrochemical reactor engineering, and CFD modeling. If interested, please send your CV to [email protected].


A delayed flight meant I couldn't present in person, but now I can share our results widely!🚀 Exploring sustainable H2 via STCH cycles, we've found Ca-Ce-Ti-Mn-O perovskites outperform known materials. DFT & experiments confirm its potential. youtu.be/SUqHJzaK_3w Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy





🚨 Faculty in NJ/Philly/NYC: My talented wife, Dr. Alexandra Brumberg (Alexandra Brumberg), is on the hunt for a faculty position! The Brumberg lab will study structural/electronic dynamics of optoelectronic nanomaterials. Keep an eye out for this star! 🤩 brumberg.weebly.com
