Molecular Modeling at Wabash The Wabash College Chemistry Department contains a state of the art molecular modeling laboratory open to use by students for classwork and research. With support from a National Science Foundation grant to professors Olsen and Feller, 800 MHz Pentium III computers were acquired that are equipped with the Spartan family of molecular modeling programs. These are used across the chemistry curriculum, beginning with first-semester introductory chemistry and culminating with senior comprehensive exams.

Other programs include CHARMM (Chemistry at Harvard Moelcular Mechanics) which is used in conjunction with current research by Professor Feller and Gaussian 98 which is used for electronic structure calculations in both teaching and research. Dr. Miller doing research with SPARTAN
