个人简历

Tamar Schlick, Professor of Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science at New York University, received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Courant Institute of Science and, after a postdoc fellowship at the Weizmann Institute working with a grand pioneer of molecular mechanics, the late Shneior Lifson, she joined the faculty of NYU. She is recognized for developing innovative mathematical and computational tools for biomolecular modeling and simulation and applying them to important biological problems including DNA supercoiling and chromatin structure/function, polymerase mechanisms, and RNA structure, function, and design. She has published over 220 papers, is a member of several editorial boards and advisory committees in mathematics, computational biology and chemistry, and is highly active in the community by organizing conferences and new educational programs. She has trained about 35 postdoctoral fellows and 35 research students, as well as a dozen of undergraduate and high school students. Among Schlick's honors are Fellow of SIAM, Biophysical Society, APS and AAAS; John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellow; Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow; Howard Hughes Medical Institute Associate Investigator; and NSF Presidential Young Investigator. Her modeling textbook (second edition, 2010) is widely used in biophysics courses worldwide.
