James Thomas Hynes

Stanley J. Cristol Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Emeritus , Univ. Colorado, Boulder & CNRS Director of Research Emeritus, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris, FR. Made seminal contributions to the theory of chemical reaction dynamics in solution, in biomolecules, and at interfaces, including reaction rates, mechanisms, and the dynamical elements of solvation and energy transfer. Contributions covered a broad range of major reaction classes, provided fundamental understanding of reaction mechanisms, and guided new experimental directions.
