(April 23, 2012) Prof. Daniel Crawford has been awarded the 2012 Alumni Award for Research Excellence. This premier university award recognizes his significant contributions to theoretical and computational chemistry with applications to health science. Crawford has developed a series of quantum mechanical models capable of high-accuracy simulations of the interaction of polarized light with chiral molecules, a class of compounds that includes most modern medicines ranging from chemical sedatives to anti-tumor agents. These new computational tools will shorten the development time of new chiral drugs by years or even decades. (more on Crawford)
