S6E7: Steven Wilson: Craving Chemical Efficiency

Computational scientists can take on the role of utility players in research, and Steven Wilson is one example. At Arizona State University he's built instruments, carried out experiments and dove deep into computational work. As a postdoc, he's working on a new challenge: building a quantum chemistry startup company. In this episode, he discusses his career that started with 10 years in the United States Navy Nuclear Program, how that military experience shaped his academic studies and the role of the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF) in shaping his research to make chemical reactions more efficient.
