DESCRIPTION:Prof. Spiros Skourtis\nDept. of Physics\, University of Cyprus
 \, and \nFreiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS)\nUniversity of 
 Freiburg\, Germany\nElectron transfer reactions are ubiquitous in biology 
 and chemistry and are central to the molecular electronics and energy mate
 rials technologies. Biological electron transfer mechanisms are particular
 ly rich\, ranging from tunneling to thermally activated hopping. I give a 
 review of recent trends in the theory and simulation of biomolecular elect
 ron transfer rates\, focusing on the role of electronic-coupling  and ene
 rgy level fluctuations. I also discuss electron-transport pathway control 
 over length scales that range from the small-molecule to the cellular leve
