Gilles Peslherbe (Concordia University, Canada), professeur invité au PhLAM pendant 1 mois, donnera un séminaire intitulé "Modeling Solvation Structure and Thermodynamics in Seeded Aqueous Clusters and Droplets"

Gilles H. Peslherbe is a Professor in the Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Physics and Chemical & Materials Engineering at Concordia University. He earned a Diplôme d’Ingénieur Chimiste from the Ecole Supérieure de Chimie Industrielle in Lyon (France) in 1991 and a PhD in Physical Chemistry and Computer Engineering from Wayne State University (USA) in 1995. Following a postdoctoral fellowship at both University of Colorado at Boulder and Colorado State University (USA), he joined Concordia as an Assistant Professor in 1998 where he rose to the rank of Professor in 2008. Peslherbe was among the pioneers in the development of realistic molecular-level computer simulations of chemical problems based on first principles. His broad chemical modeling research program encompasses applications ranging from materials engineering to environmental and biological chemistry and involves fruitful

collaborations with experimental groups. Peslherbe is the past founding Director of the Montreal-based Centre for Research in Molecular Modeling, the mission of which is to promote excellence in research and training in computational chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. He is a well-published scientist and a dedicated educator, having mentored a large diverse group of research trainees who hold faculty or research positions in Canada and abroad, and an eager promoter of science, computational sciences in particular, having chaired numerous conferences and serving on many review committees and professional organizations. He was elected President of the Canadian Association of Theoretical Chemists in 2014 and Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada in 2021.
