ARCS Forward - Computational Chemistry and its Environmental Applications
A Current Scholar and ARCS 2022 Hall of Fame Inductee Compare Research
Tuesday, September 13, 2022, at 12:00 PM ET/11:00 AM CT/10:00 AM MDT/9:00 AM MST/9:00 AM PT/6:00 AM HT
ARCS Forward events are personal and intimate conversations between members, current scholars, and other outstanding scientists in all STEM fields. These events are held virtually over Zoom. This month's speakers are 2022 ARCS Scholar Alumni Hall of Fame inductee David A. Dixon, PhD and ARCS Scholar Kyle Angle. This event will be moderated by Chris Simpson Brent, ARCS Northern California.
David A. Dixon, PhD currently holds the position of Robert Ramsay Chair, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Alabama. Known as a world leader in the application of numerical simulation methods to chemical problems and the use of computational chemistry to solve problems, his career includes outstanding research and leadership at DuPont Central Research and Development and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory before moving to The University of Alabama in 2004. ARCS Foundation has recognized Dr. Dixon for his work in computational chemistry that caused a paradigm shift in the world’s major chemical companies. At DuPont’s Central Research at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware, his research focused on eliminating atmospheric ozone-depleting substances and getting replacements to market as soon as possible.
Kyle Angle is currently a Ph.D. candidate in analytical and atmospheric chemistry studying under Dr. Grassian at the University of California, San Diego. He joined this research group after graduating summa cum laude from Tuman State University where he found his passion for environmental research. Kyle's current work focuses on the acidity of atmospheric aerosols. He has developed new techniques for measuring the chemistry of these tiny particles and published several papers on how aerosols can accelerate important molecular behavior. Ultimately, Kyle's work helps improve understanding of the health impact of aerosols and allows better prediction of air quality. In his free time, Kyle enjoys playing piano, hiking, and cooking.
