Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Prof. Mark Tuckerman is currently an associate professor of Theoretical Chemistry and Mathematics at New York University. He uses the fundamental laws of Physics in order to understand Chemistry in the "Virtual Laboratory". Examples are the simulation of fuel cells, processes that dictate protein structure, and molecular-sized electronic devices. With Prof. Dominik Marx, Lehrstuhl fuer Theoretische Chemie at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, he will develop methods for simulating the quantum dynamics of large molecular systems, a high-risk, potentially high impact project that is typically not funded through the standard funding channels.
