Peter Guy Wolynes
Peter Guy Wolynes is an American theoretical chemist and physicist. Since 2011 he has been a BullardWelch Foundation Professor of Science and Professor of Chemistry at the Rice University. He is widelyrecognized for his significant contributions to the theories of protein folding, glasses, and gene networks. Previously he was James R. Eiszner Professor at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, and the Francis H.C. Crick Chair of Physical Sciences at the University of California, San Diego.
Peter G. Wolynes was born in Chicago, Illinois on April 21, 1953. He graduated from Indiana University in 1971 with an A.B. in Chemistry, and from Harvard University with a Ph.D.in Chemical Physics in 1976. After a brief postdoctoral research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology with John Deutch. in the Fall of 1976 he became an Assistant Professor at the Chemistry department of Harvard University. In 1980 he moved to the University of Illinois, eventually becoming the Center for Advanced Study Professor of Chemistry, Physics and Biophysics. In 2000 he moved to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego as the Francis Crick Chair in the Physical Sciences at UCSD and in addition to continuing his work on many body chemical physics, protein folding and structure prediction, he is also studying stochastic aspects of cell biology. In 2011 he moved to Rice University as the BullardWelch Foundation Professor of Science, and Professor of Chemis
