Richard F. W. Bader (October 15, 1931 – January 15, 2012) was a Canadian quantum chemist, noted for his work on the Atoms in molecules theory. This theory attempts to establish a physical basis for many of the working concepts of chemistry, such as atoms in molecules and bonding, in terms of the topology of the electron density function in three-dimensional space.〔(Obituary in Canadian Chemical News )〕 He was born in 1931 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He obtained a BSc (1953) and a MSc (1955) from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and a PhD (1958) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He did postdoctoral work at MIT and the University of Cambridge. He was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Ottawa in 1959 and promoted to Associate Professor in 1962. He moved to McMaster University as Associate Professor in 1963, became full Professor in 1966 and had been Emeritus Professor since 1996.〔(Profile of Richard Bader )〕 He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1980.〔〔(McMaster Alumni Association )〕 Professor Bader was elected a Grand Fellow of the MIRCE Akademy, Exeter, UK, in 2010.〔(MIRCE Akademy Fellows )〕 His work on atoms in molecules is the subject of his book, ''Atoms in Molecules: A Quantum Theory''.〔 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Bader」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
