Plenary Speakers
Special Sessions
Several special mini-symposia are planned for this year's
meeting. Robert
W. Field (MIT), and Richard
Dixon, University of Bristol
are organizing a mini-symposium entitled "Dynamics from Spectra:
Beyond Frequency/Time Complementarity" which
will focus on the different sorts of insights into molecular dynamics
obtainable from frequency- and time-domain spectroscopic measurements. Invited speakers will include:
Mark
Child, Oxford University;
Gustav Gerber, Universitat Wurzberg; and Albert
Stolow, National Research Council of Canada. A
second mini-symposium is being organized by Stewart Novick,
Wesleyan University, on the subject
of "Spectroscopic Freeware." Talks will describe non-commercial,
freely available software useful for the collection, analysis,
interpretation, and referenceing of molecular spectra.
Invited speakers for this mini-symposium include: Jens-Uwe
Grabow, Universitat Hannover; and David Plusquellic,
NIST. A third mini-symposium is being organized by Richard
Saykally, University of California at Berkeley
on "Clusters Containing Water." The symposium will work on both neat
water clusters and clusters containing both water and other molecules. Invited speakers
include Udo Buck, Max-Planck Institut; Claude
Leforestier, Universite Montpellier; and Mark Johnson, Yale
University. A session on theory is being organized by Russell
Pitzer, Ohio State University, featuring a talk by Sotiris
Xantheas, Pacific Northwest National Lab.
