Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWallace Derricotte is a Senior Research Scientist and PhD computational chemist with 11 years of experience blending algorithm development, quantum chemistry simulation, and higher-education teaching. He has transitioned from NSF-supported graduate research and a faculty role teaching General and Physical Chemistry to industry research roles at Iambic Therapeutics, where he now leads computational efforts. Proficient in C++, Python, Bash and quantum chemistry packages like GAMESS-US, PSI4, ORCA and NWCHEM, he translates theoretical methods into practical models that drive discovery. Wallace is as comfortable mentoring students in lively, interactive classrooms as he is coding production workflows for molecular simulation, reflecting a rare combination of pedagogy and applied research. Known for an intrinsic curiosity, he consistently leverages classroom-tested explanations to make complex computational results accessible to multidisciplinary teams.
