User:Roib11/sandbox/The Fritz Haber Research Center for Molecular Dynamics

The Fritz Haber Research Center for Molecular Dynamics (FHRC) is a science research center located at the Edmond J. Safra Campus of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Jerusalem Israel.

It was established in 1981 by the Minerva Foundation of the Max Planck Society and The Hebrew University. It was named after Fritz Haber, the renowned German chemist of Jewish ancestry, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, and co-discoverer of the Haber-Bosch process. The center's goal was to support and develop theoretical scientific research in Israel's molecular reaction dynamics and strengthen the scientific collaboration with German scientists in these fields. Since its inauguration, the center became a known establishment of molecular dynamics research in the scientific world with a strong influence on chemical and materials sciences. The areas of activities include quantum coherent control, astrochemistry, environmental chemistry, charge-transfer excitations, attosecond dynamics, electronic structure, coarse-grained dynamics, quantum electronic dynamics in nanocrystals, dynamics in biophysical systems, proton-transfer dynamics in water environments.

Principal investigators
The center involves 14 theoretical Research Groups, each headed by a principal investigator, as follows: Noam Agmon Roi Baer Snir Gazit Robert B. Gerber Eberhard K. U. Gross Daniel Harries Ronnie Kosloff Eli Kraisler Raphael D. Levine Masha Y. Niv Igor Schapiro Tamar Stein Raam Uzdin Assaf Zemel
