Nijamudheen is from Kerala, one of the southern states in India. He obtained his BSc degree (2008) in Chemistry from the Calicut
University and MSc degree (2010) in Applied Chemistry from the Cochin University of Science And Technology (CUSAT). His thesis work for
the master’s degree was guided by <a target="_new" href="http://www.iacs.res.in/spectro/spad/index.html">Professor Ayan Datta</a> in the
<a target="_new" href="http://www.iisertvm.ac.in/">Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Thirvananthapuram.</a>
Then, he remained in the same group and started his doctoral studies. In 2012, he moved with the Datta group to the
<a target="_new" href="http://www.iacs.res.in/">Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) in Kolkata</a> and received his
PhD degree in 2015. His PhD thesis was on the “Computational Study of Structures and Electronic Properties of Metal Clusters”.
He is a postdoctoral research associate in the group of Professor Alexey Akimov since January 2016. Nijam's present projects involve
modeling electron and hole relaxation and recombination in 2D materials and in perovskites.

India in the year 2010. His M.Sc.
thesis “System Size Dependence of Solvation Structures of NaCl in Water-DMSO Mixtures” was supervised by
<a href="http://www.chem.iitb.ac.in/~bltembe/index.html" target="_new">Prof. B. L. Tembe</a>.
Then he moved to Edmonton, Canada where he received his Ph.D. in December, 2015 from <a href="https://uofa.ualberta.ca/chemistry/" target="_new">The Department

His Ph.D. thesis is titled as “Potential Energy Surfaces for Quantum Dynamics Simulations: From ab initio Computations to Vibrational State
Determinations”. From January 2016, he is pursuing postdoctoral research on “Non-adiabatic Quantum Dynamics for Large Systems”
in Prof. Alexey Akimov’s group at SUNY-Buffalo. His is presently developing the Libra-QE interface and the delta-SCF methodology for simulating
photoinduced isomerization in organic molecules.

Brendan Smith was born in Buffalo, New York, and grew up in Rochester, New York. He graduated with a BA in chemistry
from the <a href="http://www.geneseo.edu/" target="_new">State University of New York at Geneseo</a>. During his time at
Geneseo, Brendan had the privilege to work on two research projects under the guidance of
<a href="https://www.geneseo.edu/chemistry/jeffrey_peterson" target="_new">Dr. Jeffery Peterson</a>. The projects were to
investigate green aqueous solubilization schemes for CdSe core quantum dots, their ability to image Escherichia coli.,
and the determination of the extinction coefficients of in house synthesized CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots.
As of Fall 2016, Brendan attends The State University of New York at Buffalo, SUNY and is pursuing his PhD under the guidance
of Prof. Alexey Akimov. He currently in his 4th year of his Ph.D and has worked on several research projects to date. His research
ranges from developing methods for treating quantum nuclear effects in molecular dynamics simulations, to developing non-adiabatic
molecular dynamics methods. For the latter, his focus is on non-adiabatic molecular dynamics within the neglect-of-back-reaction approximation.

Elizabeth Zdyb was born in Webster, NY, and grew up in Pittsford, NY. She is currently working towards
obtaining her B.S. Biomedical Engineering degree. In 2017, she started her undergraduate degree at SUNY-Buffalo,
where she joined the research group of Prof. Alexey Akimov. Her current research focuses on investigation of k-point dependent
non-radiative relaxation rates in solid-state materials for solar energy.

Yating Yang was born in Shanxi, China. She obtained her B.Sc. degree in Organic Chemistry from Beijing Normal University,
2012-2016. Her B.Sc. thesis “The study of photoredox reactions of cyclopropylamines under the irradiation of the visible light”
was supervised by Prof. Zhi He. From 2016 till now, she is a PhD student in Beijing Normal University in Prof. Run Long group.
Yating's research focuses on the photo-induced charge and energy transfer dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
by nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NA-MD) simulations. In fall 2018, Yating joined Prof. Alexey Akimov group at SUNY-Buffalo as a joint
training PhD student to further explore the capabilities of the NA-MD method as applied to various solar energy materials.

Mahsa Mofidi was born in Tehran, Iran. She received her B.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from Sharif University of
Technology under supervision of <a target="_blank" href="http://che.sharif.ir/index.html/index.php?Service=profile&Task=SHOW&Item=rbozorgmehry">
Dr. Ramin Bozorgmehry</a> in 2009. She obtained her M.Sc. (2010-2012) from Amirkabir University
of Technology Under supervision of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aut.ac.ir/official/main.asp?uid=far">Dr. Farzaneh Vahabzadeh</a>.
Then, in 2014 back again to Sharif university of Technology, started her PhD in Nanotechnology at the Institute Nano Science and Nanotechnology (INST).
Her thesis under joint supervision of <a target="_blank" href="http://mech.sharif.edu/~nejat/">Dr. Hossein Nejat</a>
and <a target="_blank" href="http://softmatter.physics.sharif.edu/people/group-leader/prof-reza-ejtehadi/">Dr. Mohammad Reza Ejtehadi</a>
is related to all-atom Molecular Dynamics simulation of the motion of C60 based nanocars on carbon structures.
In September 2018 she joined Dr. Alexey Akimov's group at SUNY-Buffalo as a visiting scholar to continue her research on MD simulations.
