George Shields of Armstrong Atlantic State University is supported by an RUI award from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program of the Division of Chemistry to determine the minimum energy structures and the thermodynamics for formation of small aerosols that will serve as neutral and ionic cloud condensation nuclei. His methods allow him to determine the relevant abundance of all the potentially relevant complexes, thus allowing his research group, consisting mainly of undergraduates, to assess which ones are of atmospheric importance.The project is having a broad impact through its model of a deep, sustained and productive undergraduate research experience involving the same students, including minorities and women, throughout their undergraduate years.

阿姆斯特朗大西洋州立大学的乔治·希尔兹获得了化学系理论和计算化学项目的 RUI 奖的支持，以确定形成作为中性和离子云凝结核的小型气溶胶的最小能量结构和热力学。他的方法使他能够确定所有潜在相关复合物的相关丰度，从而使他的主要由本科生组成的研究小组能够评估哪些复合物对大气具有重要意义。该项目通过其模型产生了广泛的影响，该模型涉及相同的学生（包括少数族裔和女性）在整个本科期间的深入、持续和富有成效的本科生研究经验。
