Paul Brumer is a professor of chemistry at the University of Toronto, known for his work in theoretical chemical physics.
As a postdoctoral fellow, he worked with Raphael Levine and Alexander Dalgarno at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics, where he lectured on astronomy.
In his early scientific work, Brumer dealt with different aspects of the classical and quantum mechanical description of the dynamics of chemical reactions.
[1] In 1993 Brumer became an elected fellow of the American Physical Society for "the development of quantum and classical dynamics of isolated molecules and the coherent control of chemical reactions.
He received the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Prize in 2000 for his work in chemical physics.
