Benchmarked at 551 teraflops, Clemson's high performance research computer Palmetto is the 66th fastest supercomputer in the world and the 4th fastest supercomputer at a US public university (http://top500.org/list/2014/06/).
Welcome to Curium Corner! Getman Group members share a 400 square foot computer lab.
The Getman Group's lab and filesystem are named after Marie Curie.
The Getman Group's differentiatable strengths are in catalytic activity under complex conditions and catalysis involving metal-organic frameworks.

Catalysis in H2O
We are researching the energetic and mechanistic details about how water molecules influence aqueous phase heterogeneous catalysis.
NP@MOF Catalysts
We are designing metal catalysts encapsulated within metal-organic frameworks for regioselective hydrogenations and oxidations.
Openings
Graduate Student Positions - OPENINGS AVAILABLE
The Getman Group is actively recruiting exceptional graduate students to work on exciting projects. One involves learning how to perform DFT calculations of magnetic materials. Specifically, we want to use quantum chemical calculations to help us accurately predict the magnetization and anisotropy of substituted metal ferrites. Another project involves designing metal chalcogenide nanocluster catalysts using insights from modeling. Both projects will involve simulations and experimental research.
Interested students should contact Dr. Getman at rgetman@g.clemson.edu or apply to Clemson University, mentioning 'computational catalysis' as a research area of interest.
Postdoctoral Positions - NO OPENINGS AT PRESENT
Unfortunately, we do not have any openings for postdoctoral researchers at this time.
Undergraduate Positions - OPENINGS AVAILABLE
The Getman Group is actively recruiting Clemson University undergraduate researchers. We are specifically interested in individuals who are creative, driven, and perseverent, and who will take an appropriately scoped project from start to finish. Dr. Getman tries to work with each undergraduate to find a project that appeals to her or him. Many undergraduates cite research as one of the most valuable things that they did in college, because it encouraged them to truly think through -- and solve -- tough prolems. If you are ready to embark on a challenging yet highly rewarding journey and to explore the field of catalyst design from the molecular level, please email Dr. Getman at rgetman@g.clemson.edu or drop by Earle Hall 205.
