Nominator's project description
| Professor Goldsmith is internationally recognized for his work in the field of computational kinetics. His research utilizes first-principle methods to provide rate constants for accurate models of complex reaction networks. His main contributions are to the field of computer-aided chemical discovery, where he develops methods to automate the generation of kinetic mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis. In Germany, Professor Goldsmith will focus on models for the synthesis of sustainable aviation fuel from renewable energy sources. |
