DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 5\, 2018\, 12:00. ICFO AuditoriumR. J. DWAYNE MI
 LLER\nDirector of the Atomically Resolved Dynamics Division The Max Planck
  Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter and Professor of Chemi
 stry and Physics\, Distinguished Faculty Research Chair in Chemical and Bi
 ological Physics University Professor University of Toronto\n$$R. J. Dwayn
 e Miller has published over 200 research articles\, one book\, and several
  reviews. He has pioneered the development of both coherent multidimension
 al spectroscopy methods\, associated ultrafast laser technology\, and intr
 oduced the  concept of using ultrabright electron sources to probe structu
 ral dynamics.  The electron sources developed by his group are sufficientl
 y bright to literally light up atomic motions in real time. He and his gro
 up were the first to capture atomic motions during the defining moments of
  chemistry – to directly observe the very essence of chemistry. This wor
 k accomplished one of the dream experiments in science\, to bring the chem
 ists’ collective gedanken experiment of chemistry to direct observation.
   \n\nHis research accomplishments have been recognized with an A.P. Sloan
  Fellowship\, Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award\, Guggenheim
  Fellowship\, Presidential Young Investigator Award (USA)\, Polanyi Award\
 , Rutherford Medal in Chemistry\, the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC) M
 edal\, and numerous named lectureships.  He was inducted as a Fellow of th
 e Royal Society of Canada\, Fellow of the CIC\, Fellow of the Optical Soci
 ety of America\, and distinguished University Professor at the University 
 of Toronto.  He recently received the E. Bright Wilson Award in Spectrosco
 py\, conferred by the American Chemical Society (2015)\, the Centenary Pri
 ze from the Royal Society of Chemistry (2016)\, and Doctorate of Science D
 egree (honoris causa) from the University of Waterloo (2017).  He is also 
 a strong advocate for science promotion.  He earned the McNeil Medal from 
 the Royal Society of Canada (2011) for founding Science Rendezvous\, the l
 argest celebration of science (geographically at least) with over 300 even
 ts all across Canada\, with new initiatives in the North\, aimed to make s
 cience accessible to the general public. \n
