Link up with Prof. Rappe today at College Green for the 60 Sec Lecture. Might be a good chance to chat!

Congratulations to our former group member @_SayanBanerjee on his new role! Sayan remains a friend of the group and is a great scientist—any grad or postdoc interested in theoretical chemistry or materials science would be lucky to work with him.
Excited to share that I’ll be joining the University of Tennessee Knoxville as an assistant professor this fall! I’ll be looking for grad students and postdocs—if you’re into theoretical chemistry or materials science, feel free to reach out ([email protected])

Out now in @Joule_CP : our comprehensive study of dynamic local order in MAPB and MAPI in which we find that these compounds are cubic on the streets, but tetragonal in the sheets! doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2023…
