Despite whatever plans you come in with, sometimes what you end up doing depends on who in your organization responds to emails.

Deeply honored for this recognition and looking forward to future exciting research ! Sincere thank you DOE Office of Science for years of support and for believing in my work! Also deep gratitude goes to Persson Group, Berkeley Lab and Berkeley Engineering.

“Writing good software is an enabler to doing good science”—Patrick Kidger in his #IAIFISummerWorkshop talk this morning.

A reddit user asked "What are the most common problems in comp chem?" This was my response. Do you agree?

Wonder what the Cersonsky Lab has been up to since opening in January 2023? pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/articl…

Hello, world! We are excited to welcome our first group member, Aryan (Aryan Saha)! Aryan is sophomore (soon-to-be CBE major) at Princeton University. Exciting times! We are looking forward to welcoming multiple graduate students into the group at the end of the semester. Stay tuned!

Super excited to release a set of models for computational chemistry - my last 2 years of work Orbital Materials. Post ELMo, I'm at some risk of becoming a "one trick pony" career wise, but we've managed to make pre-training work nicely for 3d crystal structures. More below!
