Jan Blasius from the group of Prof. Barbara Kirchner will be honored by the division Computers in Chemistry (CIC) of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) with the 2020 CIC Award for the best master thesis in the field of computational chemistry.
The awards ceremony takes place on the (virtual) 16th German Conference on Cheminformatics (GCC).
Eva Perlt, a former postdoc of the group of Prof. Barbara Kirchner is now in the Turbomole developer team: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0004635
The article "A generally applicable atomic-charge dependent London dispersion correction" by Eike Caldeweyher, Sebastian Ehlert, Andreas Hansen, Hagen Neugebauer, Sebastian Spicher, Christoph Bannwarth, and Prof. Stefan Grimme was identified as Highly Cited, Highly Read Research in Theoretical Methods, Algorithms, and Applications by the Journal of Chemical Physics.
The publication "Extension and evaluation of the D4 London-dispersion model for periodic systems" by Eike Caldeweyher, Jan-Michael Mewes, Sebastian Ehlert, and Prof. Stefan Grimme is chosen as a 2020 HOT PCCP article.
The articles "Can Nanoplastics Alter Cell Membranes?" by Oldamur Hollóczki and Sascha Gehrke and "Strong Microheterogeneity in Novel Deep Eutectic Solvents" by Vahideh Alizadeh , David Geller, Friedrich Malberg, Pablo B. Sánchez, Prof. Agilio Padua and Prof. Barbara Kirchner are among the top 10% most downloaded papers from 2018-2019 of ChemPhysChem.
The article "Semiautomated Transition State Localization for Organometallic Complexes with Semiempirical Quantum Chemical Methods" by Sebastian Dohm, Markus Bursch, Andreas Hansen and Prof. Stefan Grimme is highlighted on compchemhighlights.org.
