Roel Tempelaar

Assistant professor @NUChemistry

[Roel Tempelaar @RoelTempelaar]

Today is the first day in my "new" job. Back in 2020, I was thrilled to start my group, and today I'm just as thrilled to continue our program. None of this would have happened without the talented students, postdocs, colleagues, and staff I've had the privilege of working with!

[Northwestern Chemistry @NUChemistry]

A big congratulations to #NUChemistry’s Roel Tempelaar on earning tenure! 🎉

His work brings together theoretical chemistry, quantum mechanics and materials science to better understand how light interacts with molecules and materials.

[Stern Lab NU @SternLab_NU]

Group member Angela gave a great talk about her work on chiral photonics at #APSSummit26 in Denver! This work has come alive through Angela's efforts and thanks to collaborations in @CMQTnu with Prof. @RoelTempelaar and others.

Today we are releasing QC Lab – a Python package for quantum–classical dynamics simulations. And what would a software release be without a hype video??

Links to the package and documentation in thread below!

This awesome article by @annademming just came out @ChemistryWorld covering our recent study on the chiroptical response of a centrosymmetric crystal.

[Chemistry World @ChemistryWorld]

‘Within the inorganic crystal community there’s been a strong sentiment that you cannot have chiroptical effects under centrosymmetry,’ says Roel Tempelaar. New research on crystalline lithium cobalt selenium oxide challenges that.

Our recent study on circular dichroism of centrosymmetric crystals was just covered in a really nice and approachable write-up by @cenmag.
