Paul Brumer is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Toronto.[1]
Life
Brumer was born in the New York borough of Brooklyn . He studied chemistry at Brooklyn College with a bachelor's degree in 1966. In 1972 he received his doctorate from Harvard University with the later chemistry Nobel Prize winner Martin Karplus with the work Structure and Collision Complex Dynamics of Alkali Halide Dimers in the field of theoretical physical chemistry . As a postdoctoral fellow, he worked with Raphael Levine and Alexander Dalgarno at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics, where he lectured on astronomy.[2] In 1975 he moved to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto, where he has worked ever since.
In his early scientific work, Brumer dealt with different aspects of the classical and quantum mechanical description of the dynamics of chemical reactions. With the increasing application of methods of nonlinear dynamics and especially chaos theory in physics in the early 1970s, he also recognized the potential of these concepts for theoretical chemistry early on. In addition to linking classic chaotic dynamics and statistical behavior in chemical reactions, he used theoretical methods to investigate the occurrence of quantum chaos with such reactions. He published his best-known and most-cited work with Moshe Shapiro and co-workers on the theory of laser control of chemical reactions, also known as quantum control of chemical reactions. This is the control of chemical reactions with coherent light with the goal of maximum reaction yield.
In 1977 Brumer received a research grant Sloan Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation[3]. In 1993 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1994. Among other awards, he received the prestigious Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize in 2000.[4]
