We are always looking for bright, motivated people to join our team in the burgeoning area of computational chemistry!

New graduate or undergraduate students are always welcome.   Interested candidates should contact us.  Method development work currently under way includes new ways to calculate vibrational spectra of proteins or polymers, model the ion transport properties of polymers, and predict the structures of folded proteins and binding sites of ligands in proteins.  Applications projects include modeling the fundamental steps in photosynthetic electron transfer, ionic conductivity in models for poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(ethylenimine), and structural features of metalloporphyrin complexes of nitric oxide.  Collaborators on the polymer simulations include the experimental groups of Professors Roger Frech, John Furneaux, and Daniel Glatzhofer at the University of Oklahoma.   Collaborators on the metalloporphyrin calculations include Professor George Richter-Addo's group, also at the University of Oklahoma.
