Tommy Sewell
Tommy Sewell, a professor of chemistry, and his team will receive up to $7.5 million over the next five years. Sewell and his team are working — through a theoretical framework reinforced by specifically designed experiments — to predict the behavior of energetic materials such as military munitions, rocket propellants, pyrotechnics and industrial explosives.

Arthur Suits
Arthur Suits, a professor of chemistry, and his team will receive up to $6.25 million over the next five years. The goal of his team’s project is to create a toolkit that will not only help scientists better understand how chemical reactions occur, but also give scientists the ability to control chemical reactions.

Controlling chemical reactions
This apparatus allows Arthur Suits and his team to study collisions of molecules in a vacuum. The goal of his team’s project is to create a toolkit that will not only help scientists better understand how chemical reactions occur, but also give scientists the ability to control chemical reactions.
