Dr. Craig Martens is supported by a Presidential Young Investigator Grant from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program to study vibrational dynamics and energy transfer in many-body chemical systems. Martens will develop computer simulation techniques which are important for a more fundamental molecular dynamical interpretation of chemical reactions. Martens will apply molecular dynamics approaches to chemical systems ranging in complexity from isolated polyatomic molecules and clusters to complex condensed phases such as molecular liquids. He will study ultrafast vibrational energy transfer and relaxation in such systems which can be strongly nonstatistical, involving special degrees of freedom and favored pathways. Martens plans to employ a powerful new mathematical tool known as "phase space reconstruction" to extract collective modes of many-body systems from numerical experiments. This technique will allow him to detect, characterize, and visualize relevant many-body collective coordinates.

克雷格·马滕斯（Craig Martens）博士得到了理论和计算化学计划的总统年轻调查员赠款的支持，该计划研究了多体化学系统中的振动动力学和能量转移。 Martens将开发计算机模拟技术，这对于化学反应的更基本的分子动力学解释很重要。 Martens将对从孤立的多原子分子和簇到复杂的冷凝相（如分子液体）的复杂性，将分子动力学方法应用于化学系统。 他将在这样的系统中研究超快的振动能量转移和放松，这些系统可能是非统治的，涉及特殊的自由度和偏爱的途径。 Martens计划采用一种强大的新数学工具，称为“相空间重建”，从数值实验中提取多体系统的集体模式。 这项技术将使他能够检测，表征和可视化相关的多体集体坐标。
