As a PhD student in the Peterson Group, Brooke Bonar investigates the energetic properties of heavy‑element molecules with a focus on actinide halides. Her project, “Dissociation Energies of the Actinide Halides AnX, An = Ac–Lr and X = F–I, Utilizing Relativistic Composite Coupled Cluster Approaches,” centers on applying advanced relativistic computational methods to better understand bonding trends and dissociation behavior across the actinide series.
