Honors and Awards

ACS Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2000

“for his pioneering work combining theoretical chemistry and digital computation to further our fundamental understanding of chemical reactivity and molecular interactions through visionary accomplishments in the areas of potential energy functions, accurate quantum dynamics, variational transition state theory, and the use of electronic structure theory for calculations of reaction rates and solvation effects "

American Chemical Society


ACS Peter Debye Award for Physical Chemistry, 2006

“for fundamental contributions to the theory of chemical reaction dynamics, especially quantum mechanical scattering theory and variational transition state theory”

American Chemical Society


ACS Award in Theoretical Chemistry, 2019

“For creative contributions to theoretical chemistry, in electronic structure, chemical dynamics, continuum solvation, and the development of new density functionals for practical calculations of thermochemical quantities.”
