Hans-Dieter Meyer is apl. Professor at the University of Heidelberg. He received his PhD in 1978 from the University of Göttingen under the supervision of Professor J.P. Toennies. A postdoctoral year working with W.H. Miller at Berkeley followed before he moved to Heidelberg in 1980. He has published more than 170 articles in refereed journals treating various problems including heavy-particle scattering, electron scattering, computation of resonances, semiclassical methods, quantum chaos, vibronic coupling, system-bath problems, and internal vibrational energy transfer. Over the last decade, this work was mainly concentrated on the development and application of the MCTDH method. Fabien Gatti is Research Associate Professor in the French Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). He studied at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, has an aggregation in chemistry and received a Masters degree in quantum physics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris (1996). He received his PhD in 1999 under supervision of Professor C. Iung in Montpellier. He spent a postdoctoral year in Heidelberg working with Professor Hans-Dieter Meyer before moving to Montpellier in 2002. His present work is concentrated on MCTDH and the derivation of kinetic energy operators in curvilinear coordinates. Graham Worth is a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham. He studied chemistry at the University of Oxford and obtained his DPhil in 1992 under the supervision of Prof. W.G. Richards. Postdoctoral studies followed in Heidelberg, first at the EMBL, then at the University as a Marie-Curie Fellow, where he worked with Hans-Dieter Meyer on the development and implementation of the MCTDH method. After working at King?s College London and Imperial College he moved to Birmingham in 2005. His main research interest is the simulation and understanding of ultrafast laser experiments.
