The focus of Sherrill’s research is the development and application of theoretical methods and algorithms in computational quantum chemistry. He is a fellow of ACS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Physical Society. Sherrill is an associate editor of the Journal of Chemical Physics and was recently elected to the board of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists. He is very active in ACS both nationally and in the Georgia Section.

The gold Herty Medal will be presented to Sherrill at the 89th Herty Award Celebration in September.
