About
Dr. Matthew J. Guberman-Pfeffer is an Assistant Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at New Mexico State University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut, where, as an NSF Graduate Fellow, he studied light harvesting mechanisms in protein antennae. He then completed an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University and a Vice Provost Research Fellowship at Baylor University where he investigated micron-scale electron transport in heme-based nanowires. His research investigates biologically relevant systems, with current work focusing on energy and electron transfer in metalloproteins and how proteins balance reactivity and interactivity within dynamic networks. Matthew is passionate about using computational methods to uncover fundamental mechanistic insights to develop new compounds and materials. He is also committed to making science more inclusive, pursuing the development of tools to make advanced simulations user-friendly and to make science more accessible to the visually impaired.
