Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Service to the University
Computational Chemistry Leader, Department of Chemistry
In her primary role in the Department of Chemistry, Desiree Bates earns high praise as a computational chemist whose expertise strengthens research projects.

“Dr. Bates has consistently gone beyond her primary position and demonstrated a sustained and effective commitment to increasing diversity and inclusion in our department and the wider university community.”
— Mark Ediger, Hyuk Yu Professor of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry
