Prof. Goldsmith obtained his BS in chemical engineering at the University of California Riverside (2010) and his PhD in chemical engineering with Baron Peters at the University of California Santa Barbara (2015). Before joining Michigan in 2017, he was a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany. Prof. Goldsmith's overarching research goals are to use first-principles computational modeling to help understand and design catalysts and materials for energy generation and storage, pollution reduction, and sustainable chemistry. His research expertise spans heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, data science & machine learning, quantum mechanical modeling, and molecular simulation.
