Ann Orel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ann E. Orel is an American physical chemist and computational scientist who is Professor Emerita in chemical engineering at the University of California, Davis and is affiliated with the Ultrafast X-Ray Science Laboratory at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. [1][2] She has published research in theoretical atomic and molecular physics and computational methods for molecular dynamics and electron scattering.[3] In 2000, she was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[4]
Career
Orel served on the faculty at the University of California, Davis, including in leadership roles in the Department of Applied Sciences.[4] She is listed as Professor Emerita in the UC Davis Department of Chemical Engineering.[1]
Orel is also listed as a member of the theory group/people roster of the Ultrafast X-Ray Science Laboratory at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.[2]
Research
UC Davis describes Orel’s work as using wave packet methods (numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation) for molecular dynamics, and the Complex Kohn variational method for electron scattering calculations.[5][6][7][8]
