Prof. Walter Kohn (Santa Barbara)
Nobel laureate, Chemistry
Walter Kohn is a
theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel prize in
chemistry, for his work on 'density functional theory';
this work now underlies almost all of theoretical quantum
chemistry, and is used in thousands of universities and
industrial labs around the world, to find the structure
of molecules and complex new materials.
Kohn also has an important connection with Canada- he was educated here, and frequently visits Vancouver. He has been widely recognised for his role in promoting world peace.
