We are delighted to announce that Prof. Lars Goerigk (The University of Melbourne, Australia) and Prof. Spiridoula Matsika (Temple University, USA) have been appointed as Associate Editors for PCCP.

Lars Goerigk

Lars Goerigk is an Associate Professor in Theoretical and Computational Quantum Chemistry at The University of Melbourne. He obtained his PhD in the group of Prof. Stefan Grimme at The University of Münster, Germany in 2011. He then moved to Australia to work with Prof. Jeffrey Reimers at The University of Sydney and in 2014, he became an independent group leader at The University of Melbourne thanks to a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (Australian Research Council).

Lars is a recipient of a 2019 Le Fèvre Medal (Australian Academy of Science), a 2020 Rennie Memorial Medal (Royal Australian Chemical Institute), and the 2022 Pople Medal (Asia-Pacific Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists).

His work primarily focusses on Density Functional Theory (DFT) for electronic ground and excited states, including method development, the treatment of noncovalent interactions, and making the DFT ‘zoo’ more accessible to method users. His collaborations with experimentalists involve the design of molecular switches, fluorescent sensors, and other materials.

ABS Trust: Gordon F. Kirkbright and Edward Steers Bursary Awards, 2023

12 Sep 2023

The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursary award is a prestigious annual award that assists a promising early career scientists 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 5 years of award of PhD excluding career breaks. The same conditions apply to each bursary.

Applications are invited for both the 2023 Gordon Kirkbright Bursary and the 2023 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.

Applicants to complete the following online form by the deadline for completion is 30th November 2023

Visit the ABS Trust website for more details or contact abstrustuk@gmail.com with any questions

Celebrating 25 years of PCCP

27 Jun 2023
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is a journal for high quality research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. As PCCP is co-owned by 19 chemistry, physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world, you can reach a wider readership when you publish in this journal. Each Owner Society is committed to delivering a trusted and valuable experience to the scientific community.

This year, we’re celebrating the 25th volume of PCCP. A lot has changed since our first issue – PCCP was launched by four international chemistry and physical chemistry societies, but over the years, another 15 learned societies joined this journal. In 2023, our community is now represented by an internationally renowned editorial board, comprising of 14 associate editors carefully selected by our 19 Owner Societies. With their support, we have published 45,000 articles from over 120 countries to date.

A quick look at the difference from 1999 to 2023:

“I was thrilled to be involved in the launch of PCCP and to be working in partnership with the four founding societies and their member communities. At launch, there was much excitement for PCCP to become the one umbrella journal for the publication of the best research in all fields within physical chemistry and chemical physics. From the very first issue, PCCP received amazing support from authors, reviewers and readers, and I am proud to have had a role in helping the community to establish this unique and multidisciplinary journal.”
Susan Weatherby, Launch Editor for PCCP in 1999

What does the future hold?

PCCP has always been a home for work from across the breadth of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry, in both experimental and theoretical fields. Based on our experience with computational and quantum chemistry, PCCP now warmly welcomes research in the areas of quantum computing, machine learning, data science and artificial intelligence.

You can now read and publish tutorial reviews in PCCP. Learn about the first PCCP tutorial review, written by 2023 Tilden Prize winner Julie MacPherson and colleagues. If you have a great idea for a tutorial review, please visit our homepage for further information.

We have recently published some exceptional themed collections, and we have open calls for new themed collections on topics from “Molecular dynamics in the gas phase” through to “Physical chemistry of the energy transition”.

In 2024, we invite you to join us for the PCCP 25th anniversary symposium in Amsterdam on 1–2 May. The programme features internationally renowned speakers from our editorial and advisory boards, as well as the PCCP Owner Societies. It will be a chance for you to network with the community, be part of some exciting discussions, and celebrate 25 years of PCCP.

The 2023 PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship is awarded to Prof. Li-Chiang Lin!

12 Apr 2023

The 2023 PCCP Emerging Investigator Lectureship is awarded to Prof. Li-Chiang Lin!

The 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 careers.

 

In 2022, nominations were open to all and were made by leading researchers from around the world. After careful deliberation, Prof. Li-Chiang Lin (National Taiwan University) was selected as the 2023 recipient by the PCCP Editorial Board. In addition, a number of the outstanding shortlisted nominees will be invited to contribute to an Emerging Investigators themed collection, which will be published in 2023.

 

Li-Chiang Lin was born in Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of California-Berkeley and conducted postdoctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Materials Science and Engineering. Before he moved back to Taiwan, he was formerly an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, followed by an appointment as an Assistant Professor and the inaugural holder of the Umit S. Ozkan Professorship at the Ohio State University (OSU). He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at National Taiwan University (NTU, 2021 – present). He also holds an Adjunct Associate Professor position in the William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at OSU. To date, he has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles.

 

Prof. Lin has received several awards, such as the 2022 Outstanding Research Award for Young Professors from the LCY Education Foundation, 2022 Young Scholar Award from the Taiwan Membrane Society, 2021 Yushan Young Scholar Award, I&EC Research 2021 Class of Influential Researchers – The Americas, 2021 AIChE Futures, 2020 Lumley Research Award from OSU, and the 2019 Triennial Award for Excellence in Publications from the International Adsorption Society. He has also received the highest teaching honour from OSU, the 2021 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching.

 

“Our group at National Taiwan University applies and develops computational methods to study nanoporous materials including, but are not limited to, zeolites and metal-organic frameworks for their potential in energy-related applications such as gas separation, storage, and liquid purification. By employing state-of-the-art molecular simulations, density functional theory calculations, and machine learning techniques, we seek to identify promising candidates as well as to shed light on the structure-property relationship for rational design of materials with an improved performance. We also work on the development of new methods for accelerated simulations with a better accuracy.”
