The CoMSEF Graduate Student Awards in Computational Molecular Science and Engineering were awarded to participants in the CoMSEF poster session at the AIChE Annual Meeting: Feranmi Victor Olowookere (University of Alabama, Advisor: Heath Turner) and Shiv Rekhi (Texas A&M University, Advisor: Jeetain Mittal). The CoMSEF Graduate Student Awards recognize excellence in research by graduate students in the field of computational molecular science and engineering. The awardees were selected based on the nomination letters received from each student’s advisor, their CV, and a poster presented during the CoMSEF poster session. Victor was honored for "...for establishing protocols for simulating solvated polymers and their chemical transformations." Shiv was honored "...for pioneering the use of molecular modeling and simulations to uncover the thermodynamic driving forces behind protein phase separation."
