Dr. Petia Bobadova, Chair of the Chemistry Department, recently received the Daniel Brenner Scholarly Achievement Award.

Excerpt from the nomination letter:

As a Computational Chemist, Dr. Bobadova uses mathematics to predict the properties of molecules, creating a detailed “virtual reality” for molecules. She has worked on a collaborative project on fluorescent molecules with a Louisiana State University faculty member, where she is able to connect to a supercomputer cluster necessary for her work. This research is very important, as new molecules with fluorescent properties provide new opportunities for improving diagnostics in human health and disease and open new avenues of research that require an ability to localize specific molecules within an organism.  Dr. Bobadova's recent overall scholarly contributions are impressive: 2 grants through the National Science Foundation, 6 peer-reviewed papers, a book chapter, and 7 poster or oral presentations.  

Congratulations, Dr. Bobadova and the Chemistry Department!
