Author Information

Baron Peters (1976 - ) is from Moberly, Missouri. He completed a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a B.S. in Mathematics at the University of Missouri - Columbia. He studied catalysis and reaction rate theory to obtain a PhD with Alex Bell and Arup Chakraborty at the University of California - Berkeley in 2004. He then worked as a post-doc with Bernhardt Trout at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and with Berend Smit at the Centre Europeen de Calcul Atomique et Moleculaire (CECAM). Baron is currently a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California - Santa Barbara. Baron has contributed several leading computational methods and theoretical advances for understanding chemical reaction rates, heterogeneous catalysis, enzyme catalysis, and also rare events like crystal nucleation kinetics. He is among the few investigators whose research bridges the historical gap between the theory of chemical reaction rates and the theory of other types of rare events.
