Daniel M. Neumark

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Milton Neumark (* 1955 ) is an American chemist ( physical chemistry ).

Neumark graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor's and master's degree in 1977 and received a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley , in 1984 . As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics at the University of Colorado from 1984 to 1986 . He's a professor at Berkeley. In 1999 he was a Miller Professor at Berkeley. From 2000 to 2010 he was Head of the Chemistry Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory . From 2010 to 2014 he headed the chemistry department at Berkeley.

He deals with molecular structure and dynamics. For example, in his laboratory he creates maps of the potential surface for unimolecular and bimolecular chemical reactions, researches cluster spectroscopy and dynamics, ultra-fast X-ray spectroscopy dynamics (femto and attosecond laser pulses). In the eulogy for the Meggers Award, his pioneering contributions to molecular spectroscopy of a transient nature, including spectroscopy of transition states by photodetachment, the development of anion spectroscopy with vanishing kinetic energy of electrons and time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy , were highlighted.

In 1987 he received the Presidential Young Investigator Award and in 1989 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2000), the National Academy of Sciences (2015), the American Chemical Society (2011), and the American Physical Society (1993). He received the Irving Langmuir Award in 2008 , the Herbert P. Broida Award in 2013 , the William F. Meggers Award in Spectroscopy from the Optical Society in 2005 , the Humboldt Research Award in 1997 , the Irving Langmuir Award in 2008, and the Chemical Dynamics Award in 2013 Royal Society of Chemistry , 2001 the Bomem-Michelson Award, 2009 the Herschbach Medal and 2018 the Bourke Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry. For 2019 he received the Peter Debye Award .

In 2001 he was Chairman of the ACS Physical Chemistry Division and in 2007 he was Chairman of Chemical Physics of the American Physical Society.
