Official launch of Tkachenko research group
On August 16, 2025, Nikolay Tkachenko officially began his appointment as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Oklahoma. With research interests spanning quantum computing for chemistry, interfacial photochemistry, and enantioselective catalysis, the Tkachenko Research Group is now actively recruiting motivated students and looking for fruitful collaborations. We are excited to launch new projects at the intersection of theoretical chemistry and emerging quantum technologies, and look forward to contributing to the vibrant research community at OU.

Ishini Sooriyabandara joins our group
We are excited to welcome Ishini Sooriyabandara to the Tkachenko Research Group as a graduate student. Ishini will be working on the photochemistry projects, where she will contribute to modeling light-driven processes at complex interfaces. We are looking forward to the insight and energy she brings to the team!
