We are pleased to announce that this summer, Professor Shepherd has been awarded a federal grant from the United States Department of Energy’s Early Career Research Program. The new grant funds the finite temperature electronic structure theory side of the group over 5 years. The grant was supported by preliminary data from Tina Mihm, Hayley Petras, and Will Van Benschoten. Congrats to all!
