David Chandler of the University of California, Berkeley isupported by the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry program for research on glassy dynamics and aging, the hydrophobic effect and self-assembly. The work is examining the behavior of coarse-grained models of super-cooled liquids with particular attention being paid to non-linear phenomena such as sublinear responses to driving forces, ratchet and amplifier effects and switches based upon the elasticity of glasses. Chandler continues his work on the theory of hydrophobicity which introduced a view of the driving force for hydrophobic assembly as being due to the formation of soft interfacial modes nucleated by extended hydrophobic forces. The latter project includes a study of the self-assembly of virus capsid systems, clusters which are prototypical illustrations of complementarity. The work is expected to have a broad impact on the general understanding of liquids and of biomolecular systems and to positively impact the training of future scientists.

加州大学伯克利分校的戴维·钱德勒（David Chandler）由理论和计算化学计划，用于玻璃动力学和衰老，疏水效应和自组装研究。这项工作正在研究超冷冷液体的粗粒模型的行为，特别注意非线性现象，例如对驱动力，棘轮和放大器效应和基于玻璃弹性的转换的反应以及开关。钱德勒（Chandler）继续对疏水性理论进行工作，该理论引入了疏水组装的驱动力的视图，这是由于形成了由扩展的疏水力成核的软界面模式。后一个项目包括对病毒衣壳系统的自组装的研究，这是互补性的原型插图簇。预计这项工作将对液体和生物分子系统的一般理解产生广泛的影响，并对未来科学家的培训产生积极影响。
