Nominator's project description

Professor Head-Gordon is internationally recognized for her fundamental contributions to theoretical chemistry. The hallmark of her research is to unite quantum mechanics with advances in statistical mechanics and machine learning. During her stay in Germany, she will connect with experimentalists studying protein condensation from liquid phase separation to (neurotoxic) fibril formation and developing catalysts for green chemistry.
