The McCullagh group has been awarded a grant from the Army Research Office (ARO Fund number W911NF-17-1-0383) to study the molecular driving forces of peptide self-assembly for material design applications. This is a joint project with the Krummel group at CSU. The funding is $500,000 over three years.

The Fixman Theory Summer School wrapped up on Friday June 10th. There were six undergraduate participants and five instructors for the two week intensive course on theoretical and computational chemistry.

Left to right: Martin, Glen Hocky, Joe Bake, Jun Fan and Lanyuan Lu. Had a nice time meeting up for drinks and talking about old times and new science with former (and current - Glen) Voth group members.

The group has grown to eight people with the addition of first year graduate students Kelly Du Pont, Ryan Weber and Jake Anderson. Welcome!
