The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced Gregory Voth as the recipient of the 2025 ACS Award in Theoretical Chemistry, acknowledging his contributions to the development and application of computational simulations for studying molecular behavior. Professor Voth's work focuses on addressing the challenges of modeling complex systems, particularly those found in biology and materials science, by employing multiscale simulation techniques. His efforts in developing methods like coarse-grained modeling have helped researchers explore phenomena that were previously difficult to access with traditional computational approaches, facilitating a broader understanding of processes such as biomolecular interactions and material self-assembly.
Professor Voth's research has provided tools that have been utilized by the scientific community to investigate complex chemical and biological systems. By enabling the simulation of large-scale systems, his work has contributed to a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms across various scientific disciplines. The ACS award recognizes the value of his contributions to the field of computational chemistry and their role in advancing our ability to study the molecular world.
