Practicing Chemistry with Theoretical Tools, Maul HPCC, Hawaii
On the occassion of Professor Mark S. Gordon's 65th Birthday
Maul High Performance and Computing Center, Hawaii
Jan 15-18, 2007
http://www.oci.unizh.ch/diversa/GordonSymposium/index.html


This symposium will focus on advancements made in theoretical and 
computational chemistry for the understanding of structure, mechanism 
and dynamics of molecules in gas and condensed phase. Particular emphasis 
will be given to modeling reactive processes in the gas phase as well 
as condensed phase, with applications in specialized materials, surface 
chemistry, molecular recognition and chemical dynamics, using a variety 
of methodology from traditional methods to advancements made in hybrid 
methods. This workshop will orient the future directions of the field 
while paying tribute to the major accomplishments of the past decades.

In addition, this symposium will provide the opportunity to recognize 
Professor Mark S. Gordon's contributions to the field, and to celebrate 
his 65th birthday. The theoretical chemistry community is proud to honor 
an outstanding theoretician on the occasion of his 65th birthday. His 
fame extends National and International borders, and traverses several 
disciplines of research. This symposium will feature many of the 
scientists that have trained under Mark as well as collaborators and 
friends, each giving a snapshot of the wide diversity of research space 
that the community covers.

The event will take place at the Maui High Performance and Computing 
Center, in Hawaii, one of Mark's favorite places, from 
January 15-18, 2007.
