Nominator's project description

Professor Kosloff is a world-leading expert at the interface of physical chemistry and molecular physics. He is the founding father of three quite different fields: quantum molecular dynamics, coherent control and quantum thermodynamics. Professor Kosloff's contributions date back to the 1980's when these fields were in their infancy or non-existent. Now that experimental developments are on par with theoretical proposals, Professor Kosloff continues to push the frontiers of our fundamental understanding.
