Roberto Car (born 3 January 1947 in Trieste) is an Italian physicist and the Ralph W. Dornte *31 Professor in Chemistry at Princeton University, where he is also a faculty member in the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials.[1] He conducts research on the simulation of molecular dynamics phenomena.

Life

Car studied

SISSA in Trieste (in 1990/91 as full professor) from 1984 to 1990, and professor for physics at the University of Geneva
(and director of the IRRMA of EPFL) from 1991 to 1999.

He is a professor in the Theory Department, of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society.[2]

He is a member of the Italian Scientists and Scholars in North America Foundation.[3]

Awards

In 2009 he shared the

Car–Parrinello method. The procedure was jointly developed by both men in 1985,[4] when they were in Trieste. Their procedure has found various applications in solid-state physics, biochemistry, chemical physics, and materials science
.

In 1990 he received the Hewlett-Packard prize of the

Benjamin Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute) in Chemistry.[9]

In 2016 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.[10] In the same year he was awarded the American Chemical Society's Award in Theoretical Chemistry.
