Meet the Kretchmer Group.
Principal Investigator
Joshua Kretchmer
Joshua Kretchmer was born in San Jose, Costa Rica and grew up in Mill Valley, CA. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley in 2009 and his Ph.D. as an NSF graduate research fellow from Caltech in December 2014 under the mentorship of Prof. Thomas Miller. He left Caltech for Princeton to join the group of Garnet Chan as a post-doctoral scholar. After the Chan group relocated to Caltech, he returned to finish his postdoc there. He joined the faculty of the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2019.
Jordan Hale
Jordan received his bachelor’s of science degree in Chemistry from the University of South Florida – Tampa (2021). He has interests in condensed matter physics and properties of exotic quantum materials. His current research is applying classically isomorphic methods to perovskite systems to understand their charge-transport mechanisms.
Victor Suarez
Victor received his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Florida in 2021. His current research interests are in describing electron-transfer in condensed phase systems using path-integral methods.
Mikhayla Clothier
Mikhayla received her bachelors’ degrees in chemistry and mathematics from Erskine College in 2022. She currently works in developing real-time extensions to static electronic structure methods for the calculation of non-equilibrium electron and spin dynamics.
