Mirza Galib

Dr. Mirza Galib is an Assistant Professor in Chemistry at Howard University's College of Arts & Sciences. His research employs computational methods including machine learning, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics to study molecular interactions in complex systems. Primary applications include electrolyte interfaces for energy science, atmospheric aerosol chemistry, and neuromorphic computing materials.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Chemistry from University of Alberta
• M.S. and B.S. in Applied Chemistry from University of Dhaka

Research focuses on:

• Interfacial processes in atmospheric chemistry
• Machine learning force fields
• Hydration dynamics of ions
• Reactive uptake mechanisms

Dr. Galib has published in Science, Nature Communications, and leading chemistry journals. His work on N2O5 reactive uptake demonstrated aerosol interface dominance in atmospheric processes.

He directs the Galib Research Group exploring four areas: 1) Concentrated electrolytes, 2) Electrocatalytic alloys, 3) Rare-earth nickelates for neuromorphic computing, and 4) Air-water interfacial reactions. Laboratory is located in Chemistry Building Room 103B.
