Peter RosskyProfessor

Peter Rossky earned his B.A. degree in chemistry summa cum laude from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard. After postdoctoral research, he joined the university. He holds the Marvin K. Collie-Welch Regents Chair in Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, and is professor of chemical engineering. He also serves as the director of the ICES Center for Computational Molecular Sciences, and is a member of the ICES Multiscale Modeling Group. His research focuses on understanding the atomistic structure and dynamics of chemical transformations in the condensed phase, with a focus on the impact on these of liquid and amorphous material environments. His group has developed algorithms that underlie the ability to study the quantum statistical and dynamic behaviors using computer simulation. Current research interests emphasize solvation of biomolecular systems, quantum effects on chemical reactions, and the elements of electronic excited state evolution in organic photovoltaic materials. He has received a number of honors recognizing his contributions, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, and receipt of the American Chemical Society Hildebrand Award in the Experimental and Theoretical Chemistry of Liquids.
