Gopal Iyer

Congratulations to fifth-year graduate student Gopal Iyer for receiving the Chemistry Department’s prestigious and highly-selective Wernig Dissertation Fellowship! This award honors Gopal’s strong contributions to the field of strongly-correlated catalysis and to the Department community.

Congratulations to third-year student, Gopal Iyer, for having his paper on the finite-size scaling of QMC calculations of catalysts accepted for J. Phys. Chem A! In this work, Gopal shows that error cancellation in binding calculations can enable one to use unexpectedly small supercell sizes to obtain accurate estimates of binding energies and reaction pathways.
