个人简介

Jiri Vanicek was born in Prague, Czech Republic. After spending one year at Charles University in Prague, he transferred to Harvard University in Cambridge, USA. Having earned his bachelor's degree in physics, summa cum laude, in 1997, Jiri Vanicek continued at Harvard, under the supervision of Prof. Eric J. Heller, and earned his doctorate in theoretical physics there in 2003. The title of his thesis was "Uniform semiclassical methods and their applications." After spending one semester at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley in the program Semiclassical Analysis, he took a postdoctoral position in chemical physics with Prof. William H. Miller at the Department of Chemistry of the University of California in Berkeley. At Berkeley, he worked on using the quantum instanton approximation and path integral techniques to compute kinetic isotope effects rigorously. From 2005 to 2007, he was a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton where he successfully applied methods of statistical physics to predict microRNA targets in herpesviruses. Jiri Vanicek joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at EPFL in October 2007.
