Sharon Hammes-Schiffer (May 27, 1966-) is a physical chemist who has contributed to theoretical and computational chemistry. She is currently Swanlund Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she leads the Hammes-Schiffer Research Group. She has served as senior editor and deputy editor of the ''Journal of Physical Chemistry''〔 and advisory editor for ''Theoretical Chemistry Accounts''.〔 she became editor-in-chief of ''Chemical Reviews''. Hammes-Schiffer studies "chemical reactions in solution, in proteins and at electrochemical interfaces, particularly the transfer of charged particles driving many chemical and biological processes."〔 Her research draws upon the areas of chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science and is significant for the fields of biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and physical organic chemistry. A theoretician who works with computational models, Hammes-Schiffer blends classical molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics into theories that have direct relevance to a variety of experimental areas. In studying proton, electron and proton coupled electron transfer, Hammes-Schiffer has formulated a general theory of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions that explains the behavior of protons in energy conversion processes.〔〔 Her research has enhanced understanding of hydrogen tunneling and protein motion in enzyme catalysis.〔〔 Her research group has also developed a nuclear-electronic orbital approach that allows scientists to incorporate nuclear quantum effects into electronic structure calculations.〔 Her work has application to a variety of experimental results and has implications for areas such as protein engineering, drug design,〔 catalyst of solar cells, and enzymatic reactions.〔 == Early life and education == Hammes-Schiffer completed her B.A. in chemistry at Princeton University in 1988. She completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Stanford University in 1993 after working with Hans C. Andersen.〔〔〔 She then worked with John C. Tully at AT&T Bell Laboratories as a postdoctoral research scientist.〔 == Career == Hammes-Schiffer held positions on the faculty at the University of Notre Dame as Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry (1995-2000) and at Pennsylvania State University (2000-2012).〔 As of 2012 she joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as Swanlund Professor of Chemistry〔 where she leads the Hammes-Schiffer Research Group.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scs.illinois.edu/schiffer/ )〕 Hammes-Schiffer is an author or co-author on nearly 200 papers, and has given more than 200 invited talks. ==Honors and awards== Hammes-Schiffer is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2010), the American Chemical Society (2011), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2012), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2013), the National Academy of Sciences (2013), and the Biophysical Society (2015).〔 She was elected as a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iaqms.org/members/hammesschiffer.php )〕 Hammes-Schiffer has received a number of awards, including the following: * 1996, Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, National Science Foundation (NSF), for her work on "The Incorporation of Quantum Effects in the Simulation of Proton Transfer Reactions"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nsf.gov/crssprgm/career/awards/fy96/96career.htm )〕 * 2005, Iota Sigma Pi Agnes Fay Morgan Research Award〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iotasigmapi.info/awards/agnesfaymorgan/2005.pdf )〕 * 2005, International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science Medal〔 * 2008, American Chemical Society Akron Section Award * 2011, "Method to Extend Research in Time" (MERIT) award, National Institutes of Health (NIH), a 10-year research grant to support her work 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「Sharon Hammes-Schiffer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
