Regents Professor of chemistry Angela Wilson is the second UNT researcher in recent years to be named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was one of two chemists from Texas to be named this year. Wilson, who is the director of UNT's Center for Advanced Scientific Computing and Modeling, was nominated for her contributions to the development and understanding of quantum chemistry methodologies. Her research focuses on computational chemistry methodology and its application to problems in a wide range of areas, including materials science, transition metal chemistry and environmental chemistry.

Narendra Dahotre, chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, is UNT's most recent prior fellow for the association.
