Regents Professor of chemistry Angela Wilson will be honored by the American Chemical Society this spring as the recipient of the 2015 Francis P. Garvan-John M. Olin Medal, recognizing top women chemists for distinguished service and contributions to the field of chemistry.

Wilson leads a research team at UNT that develops and uses computational chemistry approaches to predict accurate thermodynamics, which is critical to understanding chemical reactivity. UNT has built one of the largest computational chemistry programs in the U.S. thanks to Wilson's dedication and the university's commitment to invest in high-performance computing.
