Christopher N. Bowman,听Ph.D., professor and Patten Chair of chemical and biological engineering; College of Engineering and Applied Science; University of Colorado Boulder. He is considered听the world鈥檚 leading expert in photo-induced polymerization reactions (think of dental work using polymer paste cured by ultraviolet light). At 抖阴旅行射 since 1992,听听is the founding director of the Materials Science and Engineering Program, and his leadership has led to rapid growth in his department and college. He also is a clinical professor of dentistry at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

A听leader in the theory of chemical reaction dynamics in solution and at interfaces, his work has provided microscopic-level understanding and insight.听听scientific accomplishments have led to national and international recognition, including A.P. Sloan and J.S. Guggenheim Fellowships, the Hirschfelder Award in Theoretical Chemistry and the American Chemical Society鈥檚 Joel Hildebrand Award in the Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry of Liquids. Hynes has been at 抖阴旅行射 since 1971 and he has made hundreds of appearances as invited lecturer across the globe.
