Date & Time: Apr 25 2025 | 4 - 5pm Location: iSTEM Building 2, Room 1218 Interactions between molecules govern the structure of liquids, molecular solids, and biomolecules, and they dictate how drugs bind to proteins. However, the fundamentals of how molecules interact are hard to extract from experiments on such complex chemical environments. This talk will describe how computational quantum chemistry can provide deeper insight into drug binding, solute-solute interactions in solvent, and the lattice energies of molecular solids. In addition, the speaker’s contributions to educational outreach in computational chemistry, which began while he was a graduate student at UGA, will be briefly described. Professor Sherrill is a co-recipient of the UGA Department of Chemistry's 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award. Type of Event: Computational Theoretical Chemistry Seminar Special Seminar Research Areas: Computational/Theoretical Chemistry Prof. David Sherrill Department: School of Chemistry and Biochemistry Georgia Institute of Technology Learn more about Prof. Sherrill and his research https://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/
