Vale completed his PhD in Physical Chemistry with Richard Stratt at Brown University, where he developed a novel geometric perspective on small molecule reaction dynamics. He currently works on bridging quantum and classical descriptions of chemical phenomena in the condensed phase. Before joining the Subotnik group, Vale served as the Director of Education of the Banneker Institute at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Clàudia Climent

Post-Doc 2021-present

Clàudia received her PhD in Nanoscience from the Universitat de Barcelona where she investigated the photophysics of molecules and aggregates. After her PhD she joined the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid as a postdoc working in the field of polaritonic chemistry. She is currently a Vagelos postdoctoral fellow working with Joe Subotnik and Abe Nitzan. She is interested in electronic structure, nonadiabatic dynamics, light-matter interactions, spin chemistry and molecular polaritons.

Zhen (Coraline) Tao

Post-Doc 2022-present

Coraline obtained B.S. in Chemistry at Davidson College. She obtained her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry with Sharon Hammes-Schiffer at Yale University, where she studied nuclear quantum effects through quantizing protons within the multicomponent density functional theory. Her current research interest is nonadiabatic dynamics with spin polarization.
