Anne McNeil

Our research aims to address some of the world’s biggest challenges through chemical recycling of waste plastics, developing methods to capture microplastics, measuring microplastics in the environment, and designing redox-active molecules for energy storage applications. Accomplishments and Awards

Charles Brooks

Our work is focused on the applications of statistical mechanics to the modeling and simulation of processes in biology, ranging from small molecule discovery for therapeutics and tool molecules, novel free energy methods for drug and protein design, biocatalyst discovery and design, and protein and RNA folding. Data science and machine learning, more specifically, are ...

David H. Sherman

My group is interested in the discovery and characterization of natural product molecules for pharmaceutical development. Our pipeline relating to data science begins with microbial genome sequencing, mining of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters, integration of LC-MS/MS, and biological activity data. A major challenge in the field of natural product sciences is to 3-dimensional structures ...

Dominika Zgid

Our work is interdisciplinary in nature and we connect three fields, chemistry, physics and materials science. Our goal is to develop theoretical tools that give access to directly experimentally relevant quantities. We develop and apply codes that describe two types of electronic motion (i) weakly correlated electrons originating from the delocalized “wave-like” s- and p-orbitals ...

Ginger Shultz

The Shultz group uses data science methods in two primary ways 1) to investigate student placement in introductory chemistry courses and 2) to analyze student texts to provide instructors actionable intelligence about student learning. Using regression discontinuity we investigated the impact of taking general chemistry prior to organic chemistry on student performance and persistence in ...

Tim Cernak

Tim Cernak, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry with secondary appointments in Chemistry and the Chemical Biology Program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The functional and biological properties of a small molecule are encoded within its structure so synthetic strategies that access diverse structures are paramount to the invention of novel functional ...

Paul Zimmerman

Paul Zimmerman, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Chemistry, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The Zimmerman research group is a pioneer in computational chemical reaction discovery, and has developed algorithms which map out complex multi-component, multi-elementary step reaction mechanisms without reliance on prior chemical knowledge. These methods, ...

Nils G. Walter

Nils G. Walter, PhD, is the Francis S. Collins Collegiate Professor of Chemistry, Biophysics and Biological Chemistry, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and Professor of Biological Chemistry, Medical School, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Nature and Nanotechnology likewise employ nanoscale machines that self-assemble into structures of complex architecture and functionality.  Fluorescence ...
