Joseph O. Hirschfelder
Hirschfelder Visitor program aims to recognize top theoretical chemists who were tenured in recent years. The duration of the visits for Hirschfelder distinguished visitors are flexible, and can last anywhere from two days to a full week. In addition to presenting a seminar, Hirschfelder visitors will extensively interact and discuss their research with our students, postdocs, and faculty.
