Congratulations, Domi, on completing your PhD

Congratulations, Domi, on successfully completing all the requirements for the PhD for your thesis entitled: “Effectively Benchmarking Density Functional Theory Methods for Models of Enzymatically Catalysed Reactions”.

Update (16 Feb 2024) : Domi will move to the University of Memphis to commence a postdoc in the DeYonker lab in April. Congratulations and all the best


Ariel wins prize for best talk

Congratulations to Ariel Jones who won the prize for best talk at the 2024 Summer School organised by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute in Canberra. Her talk had the title “Assessing computational chemistry: do current methods account for excited-state non-covalent interactions?”



Haseena wins poster prize

Congratulations to Haseena for winning the best poster prize at the Victorian Inorganic Chemistry Symposium. Her poster entitled “Exploring Valence Tautomerism in Cobalt Complexes of Bidentate Mixed Donor (N,O) Redox-Active Ligands” showcased her work to date as part of her joint experimental-computational work in the Boskovic and Goerigk groups.


New paper on benchmarking metalloenzyme reactions

Congratulations to Domi for publishing her new MME55 set in JCTC. The paper describes the development of the first comprehensive benchmark set for metalloenzyme reactions and also includes an in-depth analysis of common and modern Density Functional Theory approaches. The recommendations can be used in computational research involving metalloenzymes and we hope that our recommendations allow for improved outcomes in such studies. The article has been published as open-access and can be found here.



Ariel Jones wins two prizes

Congratulations to Ariel Jones for winning two prizes at the RACI Physical Chemistry Division Student Conference in Katoomba: best talk as voted by academics and best talk as voted by students.
