معرفی
Randall Dumont is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology at McMaster University. He specializes in theoretical chemical physics with a focus on quantum dynamical processes, particularly relativistic electron tunneling and molecular electronic devices. His research explores topics like superluminal tunneling times and symmetry effects in particle flight dynamics.
Education: Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry (University of Toronto, 1986); Postdoctoral Fellow in Theoretical Chemistry (Columbia University, 1987); Honors BSc (University of Western Ontario, 1981).
Teaching: Instructs courses such as General Chemistry for Engineering (CHEM 1E03), Mathematical Tools for Chemical Problems (CHEM 3PC3), and Quantum Mechanics & Spectroscopy (CHEM 3PA3). His teaching spans foundational chemistry, thermodynamics, and advanced mathematical methods in chemistry.
Research: Over 50 publications (1986–2024) in journals like Physical Review A, Journal of Chemical Physics, and Entropy. Key themes include molecular dynamics simulations, quantum tunneling, and computational methods in chemistry.
Labs/Teams: Active in quantum dynamics and molecular electronics research groups at McMaster. Current projects investigate relativistic electron tunneling timing mechanisms.
