Seniorš
Top SchoolMichael Zott is a postdoctoral scholar in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania who bridges homogeneous catalyst development for renewable energy and complex natural product synthesis, drawing on a PhD from Caltech and a strong experimental and computational undergraduate foundation from Georgia Tech. Over a decade of research experience spans catalyst design, total synthesis, computational chemistry, and bioinformatics, including work integrating OpenMM and Psi4 and validating Aggrescan3D for multimeric proteins. He aims to lead an academic research group and combines hands-on synthetic skills with software-aware computational approaches, a blend that helps translate mechanistic insight into actionable experimental plans. Based in Philadelphia, he brings interdisciplinary fluency and a track record of presenting and publishing work across chemistry and computational venues.

mzott/Psi4-OpenMM-Interface
May 2017 - Feb 2020
Minimal interface between Psi4 and OpenMM that allows passing of molecular systems between each program. Additionally, some helpful tools are included such as spherical addition of solvent (because adding solvent other than water doesn't work with addSolvent in OpenMM), calculation of bond lengths, angles, dihedrals, and unique conformation searching.
