Assistant Professor Thomas Castonguay received his Ph. D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Vermont. His research interests encompass a variety of topics in the field of Computational/Theoretical Chemistry. Current explorations in the Castonguay group involve the determination of the free energies of formation of aerosol clusters using high-level quantum chemical calculations. Other areas of study include the application of the Kinetic Monte Carlo method to model chemical processes that occur on multiple timescales.
Over the past five years about 60 percent of students in chemistry have gone on to graduate or professional schools. Other students have begun their careers in industry. The success of our program speaks for itself.
