Chuchani, Gabriel

Chuchani, Gabriel

Biodata
Chuchani is most known for his important research in homogeneous, unimolecular gas phase pyrolysis or elimination of organic molecules and, in particular, about their mechanisms. Through this work, he has provided highly reliable data and a number of challenging problems to quantum chemistry, reaction kinetics, and organic reactivity. Conceptually, his research has broadened the area of mechanistic organic chemistry to the gas phase, where it can be connected to gas phase ion chemistry. He is emeritus professor in Chemistry, Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas (IVIC) in Caracas, Venezuela. He has received several international and national awards, including Venezuela's Premio Nacional de Ciencia, and is a member of many scientific academies and societies.

Febres Cordero, Fernando

Febres Cordero, Fernando

Biodata
Dr. Febres Cordero and collaborators have been able to produce efficient and numerically stable techniques based on unitarity and on-shell ideas to push well beyond the capabilities of Feynman diagram's techniques, reaching for example up to 6 objects in the final state for key processes in the search for new physics, like W+5 jet production. In the process they have constructed computer libraries, dubbed BlackHat, which are open to the High Energy Physics Community and that can be used for all kinds of phenomenology. The major collaborations in the field (like ATLAS and CMS) have worked with results associated to these results. Dr. Febres Cordero has also worked very hard with the Venezuelan Academy of Science in the creation of the Venezuelan Young Scientist Network. This working group of the Venezuelan Academy aims to gather all Venezuelan Young Scientists to promote their work and to empower and mobilize young scientists through meetings, specialized working groups and virtual networking. Febres Cordero has been the organizer of the very successful First Venezuelan Young Scientists Meeting (December 2010) and the Second Venezuelan Young Scientists Meeting (December 2012).
