Comment: He has made a good start to his career, but he has not yet reached the level to pass WP:NPROF. His citations are what one would expect for a standard associate professor in chemistry. The awards are all junior so do not contribute to notability. (FRSC is not notable.) Wait 3-5 years until he is better established.N.B., the editing history suggests WP:COI.

Michael T. Ruggiero is an American physical chemist and materials scientist whose research focuses on intermolecular interactions and low-frequency molecular and lattice dynamics in solid materials. He uses terahertz and low-frequency vibrational spectroscopy together with computational chemistry to investigate molecular crystals, pharmaceutical solids, organic semiconductors, and porous materials.[1] He is a faculty member in chemistry and chemical engineering at the University of Rochester,[2] as well as a member of faculty within the University of Strathclyde's Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC).[3]
Ruggiero was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Science list for 2019.[4] In 2019, he also received the Young Scientist Award of the International Society of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves.[5] He is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award.[6] In 2026, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).[7]
Education and career
[edit]Ruggiero received a bachelor's degree in chemistry and mathematics from the State University of New York at Geneseo and a PhD in physical chemistry at Syracuse University.[8] He subsequently joined the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.[1]
In 2018, Ruggiero joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Vermont. He moved to the University of Rochester in 2023, where he holds appointments in chemistry and chemical engineering.[1][2] In 2026, he was appointed the inaugural Professor of Digital Pharmaceutical Material Design at the University of Strathclyde's Centre for Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC),[3] held alongside his primary appointments at Rochester.
Research
[edit]Ruggiero's research examines how intermolecular forces and collective molecular motions influence the properties of condensed-phase materials. His work combines terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and low-frequency Raman spectroscopy with solid-state computational methods. His research at Rochester includes physical and materials chemistry, terahertz vibrational spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, diffraction, and crystallography.[2][1]
His research has also addressed vibrational effects in organic semiconductors. The National Science Foundation awarded Ruggiero a CAREER grant for a project titled "Mitigating Detrimental Vibrational Effects in Organic Semiconductors".[6]
Awards and recognition
[edit]Ruggiero was selected for the 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 Science list,[4][9] won an award as the "Best User of ARCHER", the United Kingdom's national supercomputing facility,[10] and received the Young Scientist Award from the International Society of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves in 2019.[5]
In 2026, Ruggiero was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).[7]
