George Shields of Armstrong Atlantic State University is supported by an RUI award from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program of the Division of Chemistry to determine the minimum energy structures and the thermodynamics for formation of small aerosols that will serve as neutral and ionic cloud condensation nuclei. His methods allow him to determine the relevant abundance of all the potentially relevant complexes, thus allowing his research group, consisting mainly of undergraduates, to assess which ones are of atmospheric importance.The project is having a broad impact through its model of a deep, sustained and productive undergraduate research experience involving the same students, including minorities and women, throughout their undergraduate years.

阿姆斯特朗大西洋州立大学的乔治·希尔兹（George Shields）得到了化学划分的理论和计算化学计划的RUI奖，以确定最低能量结构和热力学形成小气溶胶的热力学，这些气溶胶将作为中性和离子云凝结核。他的方法使他能够确定所有潜在相关络合物的相关丰度，从而使他的研究小组（主要由本科生组成）可以评估哪些人具有大气重要性。该项目通过其深厚，持续和富有成效的本科生研究经历的模型产生了广泛的影响，包括涉及少数学生和妇女，包括少数学生和本科生的年龄。
