Dr. Thirumalai has been selected as a Presidential Young Investigator           for the period 1987-1992.  Although he is a relatively young scientist,         the research completed during his graduate and postdoctoral years               provides an excellent backgroung in mathematical physics, chemistry and         quantum mechanics.                                                                                                                                              It is expected that Dr. Thirumalai will establish a major theoretical           research program in the area of simulating dynamic properties of                materials.  In addition, the research to be carried out will focus on           other problems of importance to contemporary chemistry such as (1)              understanding specific structural transitions in molecules such as DNA          and (2) understanding the dynamics of supercooled liquids and glasses.
