Michael L. Klein
Michael Lawrence Klein (born March 13, 1940 in London ) is a British chemist who works in molecular simulation.
Klein studied chemistry at the University of Bristol with a bachelor's degree in 1961 and a doctorate in 1964. From 1968 to 1987 he carried out research for the National Research Council of Canada and was then professor at the University of Pennsylvania and director of the Center for Molecular Modeling.
He deals with computer chemistry and computer physics, especially in statistical mechanics, intermolecular interactions and modeling of liquid phases (electrically conductive liquids, monolayers, etc.), disordered molecular systems, molecular solids and biophysical systems (such as models of membranes, micelles , membranes Proteins). His research covers a broad spectrum of topics from solid state physics, materials science, chemistry and biochemistry to molecular biophysics.
In 1999 Klein received the Aneesur Rahman Prize and in 2008 the Peter Debye Award . He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1991), the Royal Society (2003), the National Academy of Sciences (2009), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2003) and the Academia Europaea (2018).
