snapshots of dynamic molecules
The van Wijngaarden research group uses modern state-of-the-art techniques in rotational and vibrational spectroscopy combined with computational chemistry to model the energy landscape of molecules. Of particular interest are the short-lived species that drive chemical processes from the benchtop to the stars.

August 1, 2022: The van Wijngaarden lab has moved to York University in Toronto! We will be up and running again in early 2023 and in the meantime, are accepting applications for graduate students and post docs. December 2, 2021: Our new research thread exploring the dramatic differences in the conformational landscapes of ethers and sulfides was accepted in Phys Chem Chem Phys . Great work Tamanna and Weslley! November 17, 2021: Congratulations to Dr. Weslley Silva on his receipt of a prestigious Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship. Weslley will be joining the group of Professor S. Schlemmer at the Astrophysics Institute of the University of Cologne in the new year! We know he’s heading for more great things! Septebmer 4, 2021: Welcome to new M.Sc. student Rebecca Huard who is joining us this term. Rebecca comes to us from the University of Waterloo where she completed her Honours research project with Prof. Hopkins in velocity map imaging. August 16, 2021: Dr. vW and Weslley are respresenting the group at the 2021 IUPAC/CCCE meeting (virutally) in Montreal this week and giving talks about the group’s work in the Physical/Theoretical/Computational division. August 13, 2021: Congratulations to Weslley Silva on his successful Ph.D. defense. We are all very proud of the contributions you’ve made!

Welcome to Rebecca Huard, new MSc
student who has moved to Winnipeg from
Waterloo to start graduate studies!
Our latest graduate
Congratulations to Dr. Weslley Silva on
his excellent PhD defense, August 2021!
Hot off the presses
Congrats to Tamanna and Weslley on
their conformational characterization of
ethers/sulfides in Phys Chem Chem Phys!
The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation.
