Nominator's project description

Professor Bowman is one of the founders of theoretical reaction dynamics. He has contributed significantly to the development of both quantum and classical methods and uses both to extract deep understanding of the processes he studies. During his stay in Germany he intends to extend his work to problems in surface chemistry.
