Stuart A. Rice received his master's and doctorate fromHarvard University and was a Junior Fellow at Harvard for two yearsbefore joining the faculty of The University of Chicago in1957 where he remains a well-known theoretical chemist whoalso does experimental research and is currently the Frank P. HixonDistinguished Service Professor Emeritus at The University ofChicago. Professor Rice has served the university in a wide varietyof capacities during his forty-eight year tenure. He served as thedirector of the James Franck Institute (the university's center forphysical chemistry and condensed matter physics) from 1961 to 1967,was Chairman of the Department of Chemistry from 1971 to 1976 andwas Dean of the Physical Sciences Division from 1981 to 1995. In1999 he received the National Medal of Science.
In addition to his work at the University, he is currently on theBoard of Governors at Argonne National Laboratory, managed by andaffiliated with The University of Chicago, as well as Tel AvivUniversity. He has served as editor for Chemical PhysicsLetters, in addition to the series on Advances in ChemicalPhysics. He currently maintains a full research lab but has retiredfrom teaching classes.
Aaron R. Dinner received his bachelor's degree anddoctorate from Harvard University, after which he conductedpostdoctoral research at the University of Oxford and theUniversity of California, Berkely. He joined the faculty at theUniversity of Chicago in 2003 and is the Principal Investigator ofThe Dinner Group, which develops and applies theoretical methodsfor relating cellular behavior to molecular properties.
Volume Editors
Tamiki Komatsuzaki is a professor at Hokkaido Universityin Japan and his research interests include complexity of proteinlandscape, conformation network and dynamics, developments of newmethodologies and concepts to bridge molecules and life based onsingle molecule time series, information flow across hierarchies oftime and space and its relation to biological functions, andadaptability, robustness and emergence in complex systems
R. Stephen Berry is James Franck Distinguished ServiceProfessor in the Department of Chemistry and the James FranckInstitute at the University of Chicago. His research interestsinclude structures, properties and dynamics of clusters andbiopolymers.
David M. Leitner is a Professor in the Departments ofTheoretical and Biophysical Chemistry and Chemical Physics at theUniversity of Nevada, Reno. His research interests include howenergy flows within a molecule mediates the rate at which it reactsboth in gas and condensed phases.
