PCCP invites you to a new webinar series: “yPC Meets Industry – Start-ups in Chemistry”

01 Dec 2022

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is co-owned by 19 national physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world, including the Deutsche Bunsen-Gesellschaft (DBG), the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry.

On behalf of PCCP and the young Physical Chemists, the early career network of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry, we invite you to their upcoming online seminar series “yPC Meets Industry”. In the course of this series, industry representatives will present their work profiles as physical chemists and you will have the option to ask them any question you’d like!

To kick things off this winter term, yPC will start with a talk on Start-ups in Chemistry. Dr. Michael Bauer (Carbolution Chemicals CmbH) and Dr. Benedict Diederich (openUC2 GmbH) will share their experiences on starting a company based on their research ideas – from the initial brainstorming to the first business plan! We hope this will serve as inspiration to many in attendance on how to bring their research ideas out into the world!

The lecture will take place on December 7 2022, 4 pm (CEST) via Zoom. Please register here and you will receive the link shortly before the seminar.

PCCP also invite you on behalf of DBG and yPC to join their mailing list to not miss any future updates on online seminars, award announcements and job postings.

See you next week!

By Daphne Houston.

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) themed collection Fundamentals and Applications of Molecular Photoelectron Spectroscopy – Festschrift for Ivan Powis is now online and free to access until the end of January 2023.

Ivan Powis has been a key player in many developments of photoelectron spectroscopy. He is particularly recognised as a pioneer of photoelectron circular dichroism, a field he triggered via two seminal theoretical papers published in 2000. Ivan has remained at the forefront of this growing field over the past two decades, and this Festschrift issue celebrates his great contributions and achievements.

Guest Edited by Professors Maurice Janssen, Laurent Nahon, Olga Smirnova and Albert Stolow, this collection highlights both fundamental and applied aspects of molecular photoionization processes, including photodetachment and a broad range of targets (from diatomics to liquid jets, including of course chiral systems), in all regimes of light-matter interaction.

The 2022 PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship is awarded to Dr Basile Curchod!

19 Jul 2022

By Alexandra Klein.

This lectureship is awarded to recognise and support emerging scientists working in physical chemistry, chemical physics or biophysical chemistry, who are making outstanding contributions to their field at an early stage of their career. In 2021, nominations were open to all and were made by leading researchers from around the world. After careful deliberation, Dr Basile Curchod (University of Bristol) was selected as the 2022 recipient by the PCCP Editorial Board. In addition, the shortlisted nominees are invited to contribute to an Emerging Investigators themed collection, which will be published in 2023.

Basile F. E. Curchod was born in Vevey (Switzerland) and has been profoundly intrigued by the interaction between light and molecules since his studies at EPFL (Switzerland). During his PhD, he worked on developing theoretical tools to better understand photochemical reactions, that is, chemical reactions triggered by light. He carried on his research on this topic during two postdoctoral stays, one at Stanford University (USA) and the other at the Max Planck Institute in Halle (Germany). He then moved to Bristol (UK) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow to work alongside experimentalists, applying his theoretical methods to understand the mechanistic details of some photochemical processes. In November 2017, he created the In Silico Photochemistry Group at Durham University (UK). In September 2018, he was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. He was promoted to Associate Professor in August 2021.

In March 2022, Basile moved to the Centre for Computational Chemistry at the University of Bristol as an Associate Professor in Theoretical Chemistry. Basile is the 2022 recipient of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Marlow Award.

“Our group at the University of Bristol pursues a wide range of research interests, all aiming at studying the photochemistry and photophysics of molecules in silico. Its main interest resides in the development of trajectory-based methods for nonadiabatic quantum dynamics, and their extension to the description of light/matter interaction. Employing these developments and cutting-edge strategies to accelerate electronic-structure calculations, our group aims at understanding the importance of non-Born-Oppenheimer effects in atmospheric photochemical reactions (gas and aqueous phase) and the role played by athermal processes in the formation of photoproducts following a nonradiative decay.”
For more information on the In Silico Photochemistry Group, see the website www.in-silico-photochem.com and Twitter @insilphotochem

Dr Basile Curchod is awarded a travel bursary of £1000 to attend and give a lecture at a leading international event in 2023, where he will be presented his Lectureship award.

Many congratulations to Dr Basile Curchod on behalf of the PCCP Editorial Board, Editorial Office and Ownership Societies.

Nominations for the 2023 PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship will open this month, keep up to date with latest journal news on the blog, Twitter, newsletter and e-TOC alerts.

Gordon F. Kirkbright and Edward Steers Bursary Awards, 2023

27 May 2022

By Daphne Houston.

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientist of any nation to attend a recognised scientific meeting or visit a place of learning. The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as a memorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognition of his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to science in general.

Owing to the generosity of one of our former trustees, an eminent atomic spectroscopist, Professor Edward B.M. Steers, we are now able to award an annual Edward Steers bursary, in addition to the long standing Gordon Kirkbright bursary, to similarly assist a promising early scientist engaged in or utilising analytical spectroscopic techniques.

The ABS Trust defines early career as being either a student, or an employee in a non-tenured academic post or in industry, within 7 years of award of PhD excluding career breaks. The same conditions apply to each bursary.

Applications are invited for both the 2022 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary and the 2022 Edward Steers Bursary. Although both funds are administered by the ABS Trust, the Kirkbright award is not restricted to spectroscopists, but is open to all involved with or utilising analytical science-based techniques.

Application Forms can be downloaded via:

http://www.abstrust.org/kirkbright-and-steers-bursary-awards

or for further information visit:

http://www.abstrust.org/ or contact abstrustuk.kirkbright@gmail.com

The closing date for entries is 30 November 2022.

Non-traditional solvent effects in organic reactions themed collection of PCCP and OBC now online!

We are delighted to announce that the Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) and Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) themed collection Non-traditional solvent effects in organic reactions is now online and free to access until the end of February 2022.

The scope of this collection covers all aspects of solvent effects on organic reactivity – from the physical underpinnings through to synthetic utility in the areas of preparative, physical organic, and computational chemistry. A broad range of non-traditional solvents are covered including supercritical fluids, superheated solvents, eutectic mixtures, and ionic liquids.

Guest Edited by Professor Jason Harper, Professor Barbara Kirchner, Professor Paulina Pavez and Professor Tom Welton.
