We welcome Sam Hall, who joins the group as an MAS-CDT project student to work on metal-hydride formation!

ChemistryWorld journal has mentioned our work on vibrational lifetimes of metal-adsorbed molecules in a discussion piece of recent experiments from Alec Wodtke's group (U Goettingen, MPI Goettingen).

Check it out here!

At the DPG spring meeting in Berlin, Reinhard was a finalist for the Psi-K Young Investigator Award and was awarded 500 Euros for his talk.

The new year starts with an accepted paper in JPCL on the topic of predicting crystal polymorphism with dispersion-corrected tight-binding methodology.
This is a collaboration with the Tkatchenko group (Uni Lux) and Gerit Brandenburg (UCL).

Our paper on "Electron-Hole-Pair-Induced Vibrational Energy Relaxation of Rhenium Catalysts on Gold Surfaces" made it into The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
This is a collaboration work with the groups of Victor Batista (Yale University) and Tim Lian (Emory University). Check it out!
