2014 DCP Fellows of the American Physical Society
We are pleased to congratulate the following newly-elected APS Fellows, who will be recognized at the DCP Prize Symposium at the APS March Meeting 2015 in San Antonio.
Donald Baer
For research and capability development that significantly advanced molecular-level understanding of environmentally important interfacial processes relevant to nanoparticle reactivity, mineral dissolution, and stress corrosion cracking.
Guanhua Chen
For his singular contributions in the development of quantum mechanical simulation methods for complex electronic systems, including O(N) methods for excited states and the multiscale QM/EM method for emerging electronics.
Bret Jackson
For outstanding contributions to the elucidation of gas-surface dynamics, including the development of quantum methods for describing reactive scattering and particle-substrate energy transfer, and studies of sticking, dissociative chemisorption and Eley-Rideal reactions.
Andrew Marcus
For his contribution to the development of linear and nonlinear fluorescence correlation spectroscopies, and their application to the study of the structure and dynamics of biochemical systems.
Spiridoula Matsika
For her contributions to understanding the dynamics of excited molecules around conical intersections and method development to calculate such at the highest levels of theory.
Christopher Mundy
For pioneering applications of Kohn-Sham density functional theory to further our understanding of complex processes that occur at the air-water interface.
Farid Salama
For the pioneering contributions in the development and application of spectroscopic tools for the laboratory study of interstellar and planetary molecules in astrophysically relevant environments.
Grzegorz Szamel
For his contributions to the understanding of glassy dynamics through computer simulations and fundamental theory.
Yoshitaka Tanimura
For his seminal contributions to the theoretical and computational studies of quantum dissipative dynamics using a hierarchial non-Markovian non-perturbative approach and for pioneering the field of coherent multi-dimensional optical spectroscopy of electronic and nuclear motions in molecules.
Sergei Tretiak
For seminal contributions to the theoretical chemistry of excited state dynamics in nanoscale materials and nonlinear optical response of molecular systems.
