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.
