We are looking for a PhD student/Postdoc🔥
not bound by any particular chemical transformation, yield, or selectivity, we aim to demonstrate concepts across flexible sets of reactions, ultimately generalize them into principles of reaction design.

missing person reappears 🤩

Our new work! Beyond thermodynamic effects, we present a previously unrecognized dimension: dispersion also affects how sensitively reaction barriers respond to changes in thermodynamic driving force. With that, we got another intrinsic reactivity modulator in hand 🔥

Very happy to share the latest publication with the Maseras group at @iciq.org! Interested in how DFT can be applied to ball-milling reactions? Exploring a rare divergence in outcome between ball milling and solution-phase reactions of C60...

Thanks Tim! Haven’t seen you for a while, thought you were in the outer space😆 my postdoc is the main hero in this 🔥

Thanks Nick! This time I’m the less useful one 😆

Check our group's new pre-print🔥 A fully deductive model describing global rate-driving force relationships. NOT statistical fitting, and differs significantly from existing conceptual models😉 @garciapadilla.bsky.social deserves the highest credit! | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3Q3EQka

a bottom-up way might be: enrich the extensiveness (alongside intensiveness) of authentic science grounded in conceptual coherence, bring more concrete known unknowns to forefront; gradually foster small (and more) ecosystems of such scientific values, letting pseudo-contextualization fade naturally

Definitely worth a read #ChemSky. How can we move away from the increasingly "ornate" pseudo-contextualisation of science?
