Assistant Professor Diego Gómez-Gualdrón’s research focuses on developing, integrating and using techniques in molecular modeling and data science, and other computational tools to help design materials that can play pivotal roles in energy-related problems in sectors such as transportation, power generation, and chemical industry. His current research interests mainly focus on i) the design of materials based on nanoporous architectures such as metal‑organic frameworks (MOFs) for energy storage and for energy-efficient chemical separations, and ii) the design of advanced catalytic interfaces between metal nanoparticles and traditional and novel supports for selective catalysis.
Diego Gómez-Gualdrón received a 2019 NSF CAREER award. He joined the department in 2016 after post-doctoral study at Northwestern University.

“One of the best things about computational research is that there are few creative limitations. We can simulate things that are impossible in our physical universe, change chemistry with a dial, watch what atoms are up to, and still obtain solutions to real problems. Prof. Gómez-Gualdrón does an excellent job of fostering innovative research: we are free to explore problems in new ways and try things that are a bit crazy, but with plenty of practical support from Diego when needed.”
“I am glad to learn molecular modeling and run Quantum Mechanics/ Mechanical Mechanics simulation. Analysis of molecular interaction is a good way to understand micro quantum. Everyone is excellent and we could learn from each other!”
