Mark Thachuk is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. His research interests focus on the study of dynamics of chemical reactions and processes using mathematical and computational techniques. His current projects include investigating collision-induced alignment of gas-phase ions and examining the dissociation mechanisms of gas-phase protein complexes. The research group studies how molecular dynamics simulations can help model and understand the underlying mechanisms of collision-induced alignment, alongside the molecular parameters affecting charge and mass distribution. They explore dissociation mechanisms for non-covalent, gas-phase protein complex ions, revealing how charge asymmetries can arise during fragmentation. Mark's previous academic training includes a Bachelor of Science from Western Ontario, a Ph.D. from Waterloo, and postdoctoral work at Northwestern University and Queen's University.
