Event Details
Dr. Konstantinos D. Vogiatzis from the University of Tennessee Knoxville will present a chemistry-related seminar as part of the Chemistry Department’s ongoing Brown & Williamson Seminar Series.
Konstantinos Vogiatzis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Vogiatzis completed his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at the University of Athens, Greece. He obtained his MSc in Applied Molecular Spectroscopy from the University of Crete, Greece, and he received his Ph.D. from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Wim Klopper. After an eight-month post-doctoral appointment at the Institute of Nanotechnology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, he moved at the University of Minnesota, where he performed post-doctoral research in the group of Prof. Laura Gagliardi. In 2016, Dr. Vogiatzis joined the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as an Assistant Professor of theoretical and computational chemistry and in 2021 he was early tenured and promoted to Associate Professor. His research group is currently developing new computational methods based on electronic structure theory and machine learning for the theoretical examination of reactivity, catalysis and separation processes. Dr. Vogiatzis is the recipient of the ACS OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award (2021), the US National Science Foundation CAREER award (2022), the Bodossaki Distinguished Young Scientist Award in Sciences (2023), and the Pariser Poster Faculty Award of the American Conference on Theoretical Chemistry (ACTC, 2024).
