Regular biography
Mark Thachuk is a Faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at The University of British Columbia. His research interests include the study of chemical reaction dynamics using mathematical and computational techniques, with a focus on collision-induced alignment of gas-phase ions and the dissociation mechanisms of gas-phase protein complexes. His work involves molecular dynamics simulations to model experimental phenomena and understand underlying physical processes. Thachuk's research explores topics such as charge asymmetry in protein dissociation and the transition from Boltzmann to hydrodynamic regimes in diffusion. His publications span various areas in physical chemistry and chemical physics.
