Gregory A. Voth is the Haig P. Papazian Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry at the University of Chicago. He is also a Professor of the James Franck Institute and the Institute for Biophysical Dynamics. He received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 1987 and was an IBM Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 1987-89. Professor Voth is a leader in the development and application of theoretical and computational methods to study problems involving the structure and dynamics of complex condensed phase systems, including proteins, membranes, liquids, and materials. He is the author or co-author of more than 600 peer-reviewed scientific articles that have been cited approximately 60,000 times with a current h-index of 125. Voth is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, American Physical Society, The Biophysical Society, The Royal Society of Chemistry, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
He has received a number of awards and other forms of recognition for his work, including most recently the Carolyn Cohen Innovation Award from the Biophysical Society, the S.F. Boys-A. Rahman Award for Outstanding Innovative Research in Computational Chemistry from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Joel Henry Hildebrand Award in the Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquids from the American Chemical Society, the ACS Division of Physical Chemistry Award in Theoretical Chemistry, and Election to the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. He has mentored more than 200 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.
