The Levine group is very pleased to welcome new postdoc Alex Teplukhin to the group. Alex earned his PhD at Marquette University working with Dmitri Babakov. He joins us after doing a postdoc at Los Alamos with Brian Kendrick. Welcome, Alex!
Welcome, Kenneth!
We are very excited to welcome Kenneth Berard, a Chemistry graduate student, to the group! Kenneth completed BS in Chemistry at University of Rhode Island (with minors in Physics and Math). Welcome aboard, Kenneth!
Welcome, Trevor!
Trevor Lata, am undergraduate student at University of Arizona, will be joining our group for the summer. Trevor is part of the NSF-funded computational science REU at IACS (Data + Computing = Discover!). Welcome, Trevor!
Congrats, Gabriella!
Congratulations, Gabriella Albanese, on completing her honors thesis work in our group and graduating with her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry. Nice work, Gabriella!
Welcome, Kevin!
Kevin Torres, am undergraduate student at the CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, will be joining our group for the summer. Kevin is part of the NSF-funded Chemistry REU at Stony Brook. Welcome, Kevin!
Yinan Shu Wins ACS COMP Wiley Award

Scott Fales wins ACS COMP Wiley Award
Congratulations to former Levine group graduate student, Scott Fales, for being awarded the Fall 2021 Wiley Computers in Chemistry Outstanding Postdoc Award by the ACS COMP division. Congrats, Scott!
Arshad Earns Award for Dissertation
Congratulations to Levine group postdoc Arshad Mehmood for earning the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) Outstanding Dissertation Award at Texas Christian University, where he earned his Ph.D. in the group of Ben Janesko. Great work, Arshad!
JCP Perspective on CASCI
Check out the group’s new JCP Perspective article on complete active space configuration interaction (CASCI) methods. In it, we argue that CASCI offers many advantages over the more widely used CASSCF approach, and we present several insights into orbital selection. In addition, we argue that CASCI is not just suitable for studying nanomaterials, but that it is more suitable for describing electronic excitations in nanomaterials than in smaller molecular systems.
Welcome Arshad!
Arshad Mehmood is joining our group as a postdoctoral researchers. Arshard just completed his Ph.D. with Ben Janesko at Texas Christian, where he developed wave function analysis tools. Welcome, Arshad!
