Nathan S. Froemming
Undergraduate Student

BS Physics (Honors), BS Chemistry (Honors),
University of Texas at Austin (2008).

Current Position: Graduate Student, University of Washington, Seattle

Nathan was a part of the Henkelman group from June 2005 — August 2008, then again from June 2009 — August 2010. His research encompased a few projects, inluding:

CH₄ dissociation on Ir nanoparticles and surfaces
CO oxidation on Au(111) and titania-supported thin Au films
CO₃ formation and decomposition on Ag(110), Ag(111), Au(110) & Au(111)
Using evolutionary search algorithms within DFT to search for better fuel cell catalysts
Studying the effects of dopants in semiconductors using the virtual crystal approximation

Nathan is presently attending graduate school at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he is working toward his Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics.
