Brown and Roy groups celebrate another successful gift exchange!

Qadir and former summer student Chen Liang's paper on fluorescent proteins is accepted in the Journal of Physical Chemistry B. The research is a collaboration with the experimental group of Prof. R.E. Campbell. Congratulations! See Publications for more details.

Dr. Brown and Stephanie attend the Waterloo Symposium on Chemical Physics in Waterloo, ON. Dr. Brown presents an invited talk, see "Invited Talks" here. Stephanie presents a poster on her research beingcarried out in collaboration with Prof. P.-N. Roy, see "Poster Presentations" here.

Markus and Jose-Luis's Optimal control theory multi-configuration time-depedent Hartree approach paper is accepted in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Congratulations! See Publications for more details.

The group welcomes Kayla Atkey as a CHEM 299 student.

The group attends the 16th Canadian Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry in St. John's. NL. Dr. Brown presents an invited talk ("Pulse shaping for the optimal control of molecular excitations"). Each of the group members present posters on their work, see "Poster Presentations" here. On the afternoon off from the conference, the group went on a whale and bird watching boatride.

Dr. Brown, Qadir, and Jose-Luis attend the 90th Chemistry Conference and exhibition in Winnipeg, MB. Dr. Brown presents an invited talk (AB and Q. Timerghazin, "Computational investigations of fluorescent proteins") and a contributed talk (A. Brown,"From particle-in-a-box to computational chemistry: In one term?In second year?"). Jose-Luis presents a talk about the groups OCT-MCTDH work for quantum computing (J.-L. Carreon-Macedo, M. Schroeder, and AB, Molecular quantum computing: The multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree approach"). As part of the fun, we attend the awards dinner to see our colleague P.N. Roy receive the Laidler Award.

Nikita Blinov and Darrel Cotton joing the group as summer research students. Darrel is working on excited state of fluorescent protein chromophores and Nikita is examing problems in Optimal Control Theory.

Dr. Brown receives an Award for Teaching Excellence from the Chemistry Students' Association, University of Alberta. Congratulations also to the other award winner, Dr. Laura Deakin.

Entire group attends the 2nd Annual Jasper Symposium on Theoretical and Experimental Spectroscopy and Dynamics in Jasper Alberta.

Dr. Markus Schroeder (Ph.D. University of Chemnitz) joins the group as post-doctoral research associate. Markus will be implementing optimal control theory algorithms within the Heidelberg MCTDH package, with applications to molecular quantum computing.

Dr. Qadir Timerghazin (Ph.D. Concordia University) joins the group as post-doctoral research associate. Qadir, who is funded by an Alberta Ingenuity post-doctoral fellowship, will be utilizing and developing computational methods for the study of fluoresecnt proteins.

Ryan Zaari (B.Sc. University of Alberta) rejoins the group as an M.Sc. student.
