 ar systems\, chemical reactions in condensed phases and interfaces and cha
 rge transfer processes in such environments. He has published over 400 pap
 ers\, a comprehensive text ("Chemical Dynamics in Condensed Phases"\, Oxfo
 rd U. Press\, 2nd edition\, 2024)\, was assigned one patent and has given 
 invited talks in over 220 scientific meetings.\n\nDuring 1992-2014 Nitzan
