The TraX project
is an inter-university effort, involving researchers from 8
universities, aimed at elucidating the geometric structures in phase
space which determine the speed and nature of chemical reactions and how
they are affected by external influences such as light pulses or noise.
The effort is highly interdisciplinary and it involves Mathematics
(Dynamical Systems), Numerical Computations, Physics, and Chemistry all
working together to understand experimental phenomena and make
predictions.
The project has been funded by the European Research Council,
Mathematics Division for 4 years and it will sponsor visits of European
scientists to GT and provide opportunities for graduate students to
collaborate in this area. http://traxkickoff.gatech.edu/
