| Bio: |
Dr. de Vries received his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics at the University of Amsterdam in 1980. After spending four years in our department at UCSB as a Research Associate, he became a Research Staff member at the IBM Almaden Research Laboratory. In 1997 Dr. de Vries became an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In September 2000, Dr. de Vries joined The UCSB Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as a Professor of Physical Chemistry. While at IBM he won three awards for outstanding innovation and technical achievement. He has 83 publications and several patents. |

Current
Research
Dr. de Vries main research interests entail a combination of physical and analytical chemistry by combining laser induced desorption of organic molecules from surfaces with photoionization, multiphoton spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Included are studies of complex molecules, individual biomolecules and clusters, and surface analytical applications.
