Saswata Dasgupta

Assistant Professor of Chemistry @KState. Tweet mostly on Quantum Chemistry & multiscale simulation, but sporadically @ManCity, F1 & Chess appears.

Incredibly grateful to everyone in the @PaesaniLab for making my postdoc such a fantastic journey. I have learned so much, grown both personally and professionally, and made lifelong friends and unforgettable memories along the way

[Paesani Lab @PaesaniLab]

It’s a happy-sad moment as we say farewell to our super-postdoc Saswata (@quantum_winger), who's beginning his independent career as an Assistant Professor at @KStateChemistry! 🙌

As an Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI-in-Science Fellow (@SchmidtFutures), Saswata pushed our #datadriven #manybody potentials into new territory, combining them with density-corrected #DFT ⚛️ to develop the first #water model that accurately predicts Kw. 💧

Look at the mug 😉 to check out some of Saswata's papers:

🎇 It's official! Our amazing postdoc Dr. Saswata Dasgupta (@quantum_winger) will join Kansas State University (@KState) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry (@KStateChemistry) this July! We couldn’t be prouder and can't wait to see the groundbreaking #compchem research he will lead! 🚀

🚀 Exciting news! Led by Ethan (@EtBuVu) and Shreya (@ShreyaGupta112), we've just released the latest version of #MBX for #datadriven #compchem simulations. #MBX v1.1 features major performance enhancements to the real-space electrostatics algorithm and new tools for many-body decomposition analyses. 📊

Are you ready to feel the thrill of running realistic #compchem simulations 🖥️ of #water and aqueous solutions? 🌊 Give #MBX a try! 🏄‍♀️

Does improving DFT calculations through empirical dispersion correction come at a price? In this #compchem study we examine the extent to which it compromises the underlying physics in order to achieve energetic reproducibility for certain systems 👇

[Paesani Lab @PaesaniLab]

After focusing on #manybody interactions & #delocalization errors in #DFT in the past, we explore the balance between physical interpretability & energetic predictability in dispersion-corrected functionals. Toward #RightAnswersForRightReasons 😎
