CTCI Leadership & Members

Leadership of the Computational and Theoretical Chemistry Institute

The inaugural leadership of the institute includes Dr. Sotiris Xantheas as Director and Dr. Sutanay Choudhury as Deputy Director. Their combined expertise in exascale electronic structure calculations and data sciences, respectively, will provide a foundation for bringing the breadth of the PNNL computing community together, as well as building strong external partnerships, cross-directorate collaborations, and external partnerships. The institute has an extraordinary external Advisory Board comprised of world leaders in computational chemistry and data science from academia, industry, and other national laboratories.
