Joel Bowman

Joel Mark Bowman is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at Emory University. He is the author of more than 400 publications, a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences,and a fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His research interests are in basic theories of chemical reactivity; his AAAS fellow citation cited him “for distinguished contributions to reduced dimensionality quantum approaches to reaction rates and to the formulation and application of self-consistent field approaches to molecular vibrations.” Several of his recent papers have appeared in the journal Science.
