He is joining us from the group of Garnet Chan (Cornell) and will be working with us in the Clean Energy Project. Welcome Johannes!<i>August 22, 2009</i> <b>Roel Sanchez-Carrera </b> just won the prestigious CINF-FIZ award at ACS!. Congratulations ROEL! Here is the information: The winner of this year’s CINF-FIZ Scholarship for Scientific Excellence has been selected. The jury selected Roel S. Sanchez-Carrera of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts based on the work he submitted. The application deadline for the scholarship competition for the jointly sponsored award from FIZ CHEMIE and the ACS (CINF) was March 20, 2009. Each year, young scientists can apply by the deadline, submitting an abstract and poster of their work in the field of chemical information and related sciences. The scholarship award is in the amount of $1,000 and will be presented to Mr. Sanchez-Carrera as part of the ceremonies for the ACS fall meeting in Washington DC on August 17, 2009. We would like to congratulate and thank all the competitors for the numerous projects submitted.<i>August 7, 2009</i> Our paper on <i>On the chemical bonding effects in the Raman response: Benzenethiol adsorbed on silver clusters </i> was just accepted by <b>Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics </b>.<i>July 10, 2009 </i> Alan just got awarded the <b>DARPA Young Faculty Award</b>.<i>June 30, 2009</i> Congratulations to <b>Ivan Kassal</b> for obtaining a best poster award at the International Conference of Quantum Chemistry, held in Helsinki, Finland.
