Dr. Beenish Bashir has joined the CLab at GMU. She is a postdoctoral researcher studying the properties of porphyrins. Welcome!

Maha and Prof. Clayborne presented some of the research on-going at the Mid-Atlantic Region Meeting (MARM) for ACS in Trenton, NJ. Great Job!

A’Laura Hines and Nicolas Alt have chosen to join our research group. Welcome!

Nia will spend part of the Spring/Summer Semester at IBM as part of their intern program for the second year in a row. Congratulations Nia!

Nina graduated with a Master of Science degree in Chemistry & Biochemistry in December 2021! Congratulations Nina! We wish you the best!

Nia Pollard received funding support from the Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEC). She is studying quantum information sciences as it applies to chemistry. For more information about QSEC, please visit https://qsec.gmu.edu.

Prof. Clayborne accepted an invitation to become an affiliate member for the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN).

Welcome Nina Kieninger to the Research Group! She will be studying small metal clusters.

A post-doctoral position in computational chemistry is available in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA) under the direction of Prof. Andre Clayborne. The research will focus on developing a machine learning protocol for identifying molecules for quantum information systems and molecular electronics. Additionally, the researcher will be using simulation methods to understand the electronic properties of various molecules. The candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team involving experimentalists and industrial partners.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, bio-informatics, or related fields. The ideal candidate should meet the following requirements:

• Possess knowledge of Computational Chemistry/Physics Software packages
• Be able to demonstrate strong skills in Python and related machine learning packages; and
• Candidates must possess the ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

 The position is for 1-year and may be extended upon mutual agreement. For full consideration, please apply by 06/30/21. View the full advertisement at https://jobs.gmu.edu/ position number F067Az

Congratulations to all of the 2021 Graduates. Sekou will be attending UC San Diego for graduate school. We wish you the best!
