John Tully

John Tully is a Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and of Physics and Applied Physics at Yale University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on theoretical chemistry and physical chemistry, with an emphasis on understanding dynamical processes such as energy transfer and chemical reactions in various environments. His work involves developing theoretical and computational tools for simulating chemical dynamics, particularly at metal surfaces. Tully has contributed significantly to the field through his research on nonadiabatic dynamics and electronic excited states. He has been a member of Yale's faculty since 1996 and is not currently accepting lab members. His research group's website provides further details on his work.

John Tully Sterling is a Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, specializing in theoretical chemistry. His research focuses on molecular dynamics and nonadiabatic processes, particularly in chemical reactions involving electronic transitions. He has developed theoretical frameworks such as trajectory surface hopping and mixed quantum–classical dynamics to model complex systems. His work explores phenomena like proton transfer in solution, gas–surface interactions, and vibrational relaxation on metal surfaces. Tully's research also addresses the dynamics of chemical reactions at interfaces and the role of electronic excitation in surface processes. His contributions span both fundamental theory and applications in chemical dynamics.
