Announcement of a New Chair

The Department is pleased to announce the hire of Dr. Jennifer van Wijngaarden as Full Professor and our new Departmental Chair. 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.
