Gilles Peslherbe

Gilles Peslherbe is a Professor at Concordia University, cross-appointed in the departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, and Chemical and Materials Engineering. He leads the Centre for Research in Molecular Modeling (CERMM) and supervises graduate students in programs spanning Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and Nanoscience.

• PhD in Physical Chemistry with Minor in Computer Engineering (Wayne State University, USA)
• Diplôme d'Ingénieur Chimiste (Ecole Supérieure de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon, France)

His research integrates computational chemistry, quantum mechanics, and machine learning to model chemical processes in extreme conditions, drug delivery systems, and environmental impact assessments. Collaborative projects include studies on spin catalysis, nanostructured materials, and RNA structure fundamentals.

Recent publications highlight applications of artificial intelligence in therapeutics development, density-functional theory in nanomaterials, and ultrasfast spectroscopy in electron solvation. His work bridges quantum computing and biological simulations.

Teaching includes courses on quantum theory, computational chemistry, and statistical mechanics. He actively seeks students for ongoing projects in chemical interactions in extreme conditions and environmental remediation.
