Chemistry Undergrad Awarded Fellowship from the U.S. Department of Energy

Chemistry major Devin A. Matthews has been awarded the Computational Science Graduate Fellowship from the United States Department of Energy.

Matthews, who's been doing research in the lab of Dr. John Stanton since his first year at The University of Texas at Austin, works on extending the equation-of-motion coupled cluster method to biradicals.

Matthews graduates in May, and with the support of the fellowship will continue his research at the graduate level in the Stanton group.

The Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program provides outstanding benefits and opportunities to students pursuing a PhD in scientific or engineering disciplines with an emphasis in high-performance computing.

Funded by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science and National Nuclear Security Administration, the DOE CSGF trains scientists to meet the nation’s workforce needs and helps to create a nationwide interdisciplinary community. The fellowship provides support and guidance to some of the nation’s best scientific graduate students, and these graduates now work in DOE laboratories, private industry and educational institutions. One of the requirements of the Computational Science Graduate Fellowship Program is a three-month practicum at a DOE research laboratory.
