The primary goal of the center is to support research in molecular dynamics
and encourage cooperation between German and Israeli scientists. The center
supports theoretical research in all branches of chemical physics and
biophysics.
The Fritz Haber center is the first Minerva center in the Hebrew University.
The center was initiated in 1981 by Professor R. D. Levine who served as its
first director. Professor R. B. Gerber took over as director in 1989,
professor R. Kosloff in 1991, professor A. Ben-Shaul in 1998 and professor
R. Baer is the current director (since November 2006). The center is
overseen by an international board: the Beirat. Since the center's inception
Professor E. Schlag has served as the chairman of the Beirat, from 1981 till
1996. Professor G. Comsa was chairman from 1996 till 2000. Today, the
chairman of the Beirat is professor W. Domcke. The scientific activity of
the center has been evaluated by special international review committees in
1994 and 2002. Currently the center unifies eight theoretical groups who are
actively involved in theoretical studies of molecular and electron dynamics
in molecules, nanocrystals and biological systems.
