DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nLinear spectroscopies\, ranging from electronic to
  Raman and infra-red\, are the workhorse methods used to interrogate time 
 and energy scales of chemical systems. However\, in disordered condensed p
 hase systems the presence of many overlapping features makes decoding the 
 information present to obtain the individual processes and states present\
 , the timescales of their interconversion\, and the molecular motions they
  arise from extremely challenging. Nonlinear spectroscopies provide much r
 icher information\, with the 2D counterparts of the aforementioned spectro
 scopies (2D-ES\, 2D-Raman and 2D-IR) giving access to extra time and frequ
 ency dimensions that allow for easier identification of the states present
  and the rates of their interconversion. However\, while these methods yie
 ld information on the timescales present in condensed phase chemical syste
 ms\, linking these to the microscopic structural changes that give rise to
  them often poses a significant challenge. In this talk I will discuss our
  recent work using ab initio path integral simulations\, which incorporate
  the quantum mechanics of the electrons and nuclei\, to understand the 2D-
 IR of proton defects in aqueous solution. I will then discuss our work on 
 developing the theory and interpretation of recently developed impulsive n
 uclear Raman and x-ray scattering (INXS) experiments which provide a new r
 oute to image molecular-scale structure and dynamics in disordered media.
 \n\n \n\n \n\nBio:\n\nProfessor Tom Markland’s research interests lie broa
 dly in the development of theoretical and simulation approaches and their 
 application to explain effects observed in the classical and quantum dynam
 ics of chemical systems. Tom received his MChem in Chemistry from Balliol 
 College\, University of Oxford where he was a Brackenbury Scholar and did 
 his thesis work in the area of non-adiabatic dynamics. He continued at Oxf
 ord for his DPhil research in the area of quantum dynamics under the super
 vision of Professor David Manolopoulos. In 2009 he was awarded the Royal S
 ociety of Chemistry's Coulson Prize. After postdoctoral work with Professo
 r Bruce Berne at Columbia University he moved to Stanford in 2011 as an As
 sistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. In 2018 he was promoted 
 to Associate Professor with tenure. Since starting at Stanford he has been
  awarded a Research Corporation Cottrell Scholarship\, Alfred P. Sloan Res
 earch Fellowship\, Terman Fellowship\, Hellman Faculty Scholarship\, the A
 CS OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award\, the NSF CAREER award\, the C
 amille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar award\, the H&S Dean's Award for Distinguis
 hed Teaching\, the Kavli Emerging Leader in Chemistry Lectureship\, and th
 e ACS Early Career Award in Theoretical Chemistry.\n
