Dr. Jiri Cinch. professor of applied mathematics and chemistry at the University of Waterloo. has received one of the most prestigious honours ever awarded a UW faculty member-he has been named Laureat for 1976 of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. This award is made to only one scientist in the quantum molecular science field the world over, once a year. Dr. Cizek‘s award was announced by Dr. Bernard Pullman. the president of the international Academy. the headquarters for which is in Menton. France. Dr. Pullman is also a professor at the University at Paris VI and director of the world renowned Interdisciplinary Institute of Biology and Physical Chemistry. Dr. Cizek‘s election as Laureat for 1976 was by the mem- bers of the Academy at- tending its annual meeting in New Orleans. April 19-24: the meeting coincided with the Second liternational Congress of Quantum Chemistry. The Academ/ holds its annual meetings in various locations throughout the world. It is a highly re- spected international body composed of distinguished scientists. inciuding sev- eral Nobel prize winners. Among its members is Gerhard Herzberg. Can- ada's only recent Gobel prize winner. The other members are also well known scientists: several among them are widely considered of Nobel prize calibre. Previous Laureats of the International Acad- emy of Quantum Molecular Science. who are distin- guished scientists under 40 years of age. are from a number of renowned uni- versities such as Harvard. Cornell. Chicago and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Quantum theory is a de- velopment which has to do with explaining the nature of the structure of matter using a rather sophisticated mathematical apparatus. Dr. Cizek has been honour- ed for his pioneering work in many electron chemistry problems which have to do with understanding how it is that atoms and molecules hold together. His work is largely theoretical and mathematical but there are implications in the applied areas U W professor receives atrard Quantum mechanics is a scu‘nce ot a truly Inlerdus- ciplinary nature because It describes. from a theoretr cal point of new. the be- humour of elementrary particles, atoms. molecules "Fascmumg Shop for the Oo-ft Yourself" ' WEDDING CAKE TOPS crystals. up to the descrip- tion ot matter under high The feedback into math- ematics is also very im- portant: the areas of group theory. functional analysis. e Needless to mention. the philosophical consequences of quantum mechanics-in fact. epistemology of the past 50 years-was greatly influenced by quantum mechanical ideas. namely by the new understanding of the concept of causality in the natural sciences. From a practical point of view quantum mechan- ics is also very important-- from the construction of atomic power stations to the use of quantum mech- anics in such fields as ma- sers. lasers. applied spec- troscopy. semiconductors and superconductors. in physics. and numerical mathema- tics were refreshed by new applications of these them ries in quantum mechan- ics. The development of computer science was also closely connected with the great demand on the part of quantum theorists for the development of high speed computers. Considerable use of quantum mechanics is also of benefit in chemistry and surface physics: there are many practical problems-- namely in organic chemis- try and catalysis-to which quantum chemistry can contribute. Further. quantum mech- anics is useful in molecular biology-namely in explain- ing the structure of DNA. Finally. quantum chem- istry is able to help even in the area of pharmacology-- namely. it is possible to indicate in advance which compounds might be pharm- acologically active having in mind the heavy cost of pharmacological e x p e r i- ments: this is of very prac- tical benefit. Dr. Cizek was born in Czechoslovakia. did his undergraduate studies in Chafhis University m Prague. and received his PhD from the Czechoslo- vakian Academy of Sci- ences. He started his career relatively early-he pub- lished his first scientific paper Ion polarographyi at the age of 17: this was done under the guidance of and with the collaboration of his future PhD supervisor, Prof Jaroslav Koutecky. who IS now a distinguished professor in the Free 11m- versity ol West Berlin During his undergraduate years Dr Cizek published a number of other papers on polarography for which. he hay been permanently on staff as an associate pro- lessor and last year he was promoted to the rank of full professor. One of the highlights of his career to date has been the winning of a Sloan award. in 1974-76. He is one of only three UW faculty members to have won a Sloan award in re- cent years. Though the Laureat is in Dr. Cizek's name he is quick to point out that he has been in close collabora- tion. since 1965. with his colleague and friend. Dr. Josef Paldus. Dr. Paldus‘ background is similar to that of Dr. Cizek. He also was born in' Czechoslovakia and educated at Charles University: he also did his PhD with the same super- visor. Dr. Paldus is also known for his spectro- scopic work on glyoxal which he did with Dr. DA. Ramsay. at the National Research Council in Otta- wa: at that time Dr. Herz- berg was their director. In recent years Dr. Pal- dus has won wide respect for his work on the use of Gelfand schemes in many electron problems. after a couple at years. he certainly worked together received the medal ot the very closely. and for a good Nobel prim winner. J. number of years since Heyrovsky (at that time he 1965. I am obliged to Josef was the youngest recipient Paldus for his encourage- ofthismedali. ment from the beginning.

The work for which he has now been honoured was in fact started years ago. during his preparation of his PhD thesis. In 1968 Dr. Cizek became a visiting associate profes- sor at Waterloo. Since 1969 “It is unfortunate that the award cannot. by the rules of the Academy. be given to us jointly." Dr. Cizek says. “For we have m the new location at K 19 YOUNG ST. E.

Davison who, together with Prof: Doug- las Henderson. was instru- mental in attracting both Drs. Paidus and Cizek to this university. There are indications that Dr: Paldus will receive compensation for this rath- er unfortunate rule situa- tion in several ways. For example. he has been in- vited to give a major ad- dress to the Mai Interna- tional seminar at Ojai': Japan. this September. He will talk on the AB INITIO calculations of molecular electronic structure. And other invitations of major importance are expected. Dr. Cizek feels very grateful for the opportuni- ties which he has received in Waterloo after his de- parture from Czechoslo- vakia. Dr. Cizek is very proud of his Czech origin and the humanistic and democratic traditions 'of his nation. Though he was not at all active in politics in Czechoslovakia. for ob- vious reasons. he hopes that after becoming a Cana- dian citizen he will become involved in Canadian poli- tics. Dr. Pawns is also a pro- fessor in both UW's depart- ment of applied mathema- tics and its department of chemistry.
