The William Rainey Harper Dissertation Fellowship is the highest honor awarded to the University of Chicago’s graduate students in recognition of outstanding achievement and professional promise. Jaehyeok Jin has been awarded the Harper Fellowship, which bestows $4,000 to graduate students conducting groundbreaking research and entering their last year of dissertation work. Jaehyeok’s dissertation research will focus on statistical mechanical paradigms for next-generation multiscale modeling under the supervision of Professor Gregory A. Voth. “My dissertation will cover new paradigms for understanding the principles of statistical mechanics underlying multiscale modeling and also demonstrates how to faithfully construct such models for molecular soft matter.” Jaehyeok’s dissertation will draw upon the 27 papers that have been and are soon-to-be published during his graduate studies. In addition to this distinguished fellowship, Jaehyeok is also a recipient of prestigious awards in the Talent Award of Korea and the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award for Graduate Students. “Winning this Harper Fellowship is not only a reflection of my personal achievements but also a reflection of my fantastic advisor and our extraordinary chemistry department full of great theoretical chemists,” Jaehyeok said.
