Michael T. Ruggiero is a physical chemist based at the University of Vermont who was one of the recipients of the 2018 Forbes 30 Under 30 Award. He is an expert in Terahertz radiation Infrared spectroscopy, and contributes to the development and application of the Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
Early Life and Education
Ruggiero studied Chemistry at the State University of New York at Geneseo,[1] and received his B.S. degree in 2012. He completed his PhD in 2018, working with Prof. Timothy Korter at Syracuse University on understanding the origins of intermolecular forces in crystalline solids using terahertz spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) simulations[2]. Ruggiero won an European Molecular Biology Organization fellowship to travel to Turin, Italy in 2016 to continue his work with DFT methods[3].
Research and Career
After completion of his PhD, Ruggiero joined the University of Cambridge to work with Prof. J. Axel Zeitler in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, where he was funded by an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council grant. He was also appointed a junior research fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge in 2016. While at Cambridge he won awards for his work, notably the 2018 Best User of ARCHER for his work on the UK National Supercomputer.[4][5]
In 2018 he joined the Chemistry Department at the University of Vermont. In 2019 he was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his research achievements into understanding the motions of atoms in the condensed phase.[6][7][8] His research involves the investigation of the molecular dynamics in the condensed phase, using experimental and theoretical methodologies. His research has led to new developments in a cross-disciplinary array of fields, including the pharmaceutical industry and the materials processing fields. In 2019 he was awarded the Young Scientist Award from the International Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves organization.[9] He was also named a National Science Foundation National Science Foundation CAREER Awards in 2019.[10]
