Resume/CV

Professor Philip Shushkov earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Yale University in 2013, where he developed theoretical methods to simulate the quantum motion of molecules, a key feature of chemical dynamics in quantum information sciences, energy conversion, and catalysis. He was awarded the Richard Wolfgang prize for best doctoral thesis for his graduate research. Prof. Shushkov’s interests in the dynamics of complex molecular systems led him to Germany, where he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the University of Bonn. He returned to the US in 2017 for a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology supported by the DFG, where he developed methods for molecular quantum dynamics in the gas and condensed phases and at surfaces. His independent career began at Tufts University in 2020 prior to joining the Indiana University Department of Chemistry in 2022.
