snapshots of dynamic molecules
The van Wijngaarden research group uses modern state-of-the-art techniques in rotational and vibrational spectroscopy combined with computational chemistry to model the energy landscape of molecules. Of particular interest are the short-lived species that drive chemical processes from the benchtop to the stars.

York
University
recognizes
that
many
Indigenous
Nations
have
longstanding
relationships
with
the
territories
upon
which
York
University
campuses
are
located
that
precede
the
establishment
of
York
University.
York
University acknowledges
its
presence
on
the
traditional
territory
of
many
Indigenous
Nations.
The
area
known
as
Tkaronto
has
been
care
taken
by
the
Anishinabek
Nation,
the
Haudenosaunee
Confederacy,
and
the
Huron-Wendat.
It
is
now
home
to
many
First
Nation,
Inuit
and
Métis
communities.
We acknowledge
the
current
treaty
holders,
the
Mississaugas
of
the Credit
First
Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

January 1, 2024: We’re starting the new year strong. Tamanna and Weslley’s
latest work on diallylether and sulfide complexes with water was accepted for
publication in the Journal of Chemical Physics!
November 4, 2023: Dr. vW attends the Symposium on Chemical Physics in
Waterloo to present Dylan and Tamanna’s research on vinyl substituted ethers
and sulfides.
December 18, 2023: Congratulations to newly minted Dr. Tamanna Poonia on
successfully defending her PhD thesis. Tammana has accepted a management
position within the provincial government of Manitoba.
September 12, 2023: The vW group is expanding! Welcome to new graduate
students Aadya Chaudhary and Sophie Worthington-Kirsch and undergraduate
researcher Manisha Kumari.
Our latest graduate
Congrats to Carolyn Gregory who
completed her MSc degree in December!
