David Chandler Created 2026-10-20 Updated 2026-11-05
A researcher in statistical mechanics and physical chemistry who developed theory and simulation methods for liquids. His work connects microscopic molecular fluctuations with collective behavior, including the hydrophobic effect, electron transfer and the glass transition. The scientific value of this approach is that the surrounding liquid is an active part of a process: its changing molecular arrangement can determine whether a reaction proceeds or a structure assembles.[ref]
