Trevor A. Hamlin, Assistent Professor in the department of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Amsterdam Institute of Molecular and Life Sciences (AIMMS), has been elected as a member of the Young Academy of Europe.
The Young Academy of Europe is a pan-European network of excellent mid-career academics with international recognition and leadership experience, dedicated to fostering scientific collaboration and science policy in Europe.
Theoretical insight and experimental design
Hamlin is a theoretical chemist whose research integrates photochemistry, physical organic chemistry, and computational modeling to reveal the fundamental principles that control chemical reactivity.
His research is driven by a desire to unify theoretical insight and experimental design into a coherent framework for chemical discovery. His group applies energy decomposition and activation strain analyses to decode how electronic structure dictates reactivity in radical, pericyclic, and catalytic systems.
Beyond his research, Hamlin is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and serves on the Editorial Advisory Boards of Chemistry – A European Journal and ChemPhysChem.
