Ad van der Avoird

Ad van der Avoird (born 19 April 1943) is a Dutch theoretical chemist. He was professor of theoretical chemistry at the Radboud University Nijmegen.

Education and career

Van der Avoird was born on 19 April 1943 in Eindhoven.[1] He studied at Eindhoven University of Technology, obtaining his PhD under George Schuit in 1968 with a thesis titled: "Perturbation theory for intermolecular forces : application to some adsorption models".[2] He was professor of theoretical chemistry at the Radboud University Nijmegen and took up emeritus status in 2008 although he kept working.[3] In 2013 Van der Avoird provided a theory on the relation between two benzene rings and their possible motion, the discovery was published with Gerard Meijer and a German research team in a paper in Angewandte Chemie.[4][5] The model solved a decade old scientific issue.[6]

Honors and awards

On 25 April 2014 he was made a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion, one of only fifteen appointees that year. Amongst other accomplishments he was given the honor for his model of benzene dimer.[6]

Van der Avoird became member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1979.[7] He is also member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.[1]
