Learn about Martin Head-Gordon, a theoretical chemist at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and a recently elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. He develops electronic structure theory to permit improved calculations of molecules, including the strength of chemical bonds. To better understand how and why bonds form, he also works on energy decomposition analysis (EDA), which gives the value of physically different contributions to chemical bonds.
Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) Press Release
Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Hendrik Utzat, is one of 19 individual Scialog award winners for 2025. Scialog is short for “science + dialog”, and was created in 2010 by RCSA (Research Corporation for Science Advancement).
The awards recognize significant and outstanding scientific contributions from individuals or teams who have made major breakthroughs, advanced research in a field, or demonstrated exceptional leadership in a scientific project.

Google AI's Willow quantum chip in collaboration with Ashok Ajoy and Pines Magnetic Resonance Center (PMRC) demonstrates the first-ever algorithm to achieve verifiable quantum advantage on hardware.
(NT Times) Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer.
Zirun was honored for his research with Professor Markita Landry, entitled 'Single-Molecule Modification of Carbon Nanotubes Through Stochastic Deposition of ssDNA'.
Quantum dots—tiny, easy-to-produce particles—may soon take the place of more expensive single crystal semiconductors in advanced electronics found in solar panels, camera sensors, and medical imaging tools.
