Russell Boyd is the holder of the Alexander McLeod Chair of Chemistry at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. He graduated in 1967 from the University of British Columbia with First-Class Honours in Chemistry and the Lefevre Gold Medal. He pursued his PhD in Theoretical Chemistry at McGill University, receiving it in 1971, and went on to Oxford University, UK, as an NRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mathematical Institute. He returned to the University of British Columbia where he held a Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Chemistry from 1973 to 1975, and joined Dalhousie University as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry in 1975. He has served as a Chair of Chemistry there since 1992 and became McLeod Chair in 2001.

Russell Boyd has published about 200 peer-reviewed papers in computational and theoretical chemistry, many of which are highly cited. His current interests include amongst others the effects of radiation on DNA and proteins, the mechanism by which a leading anti-tumor drug cleaves DNA, and the design of catalysts.

"...a handsome text that serves to create a one-stop reference point exploring the quantum theory of atoms and molecules in complete detail." (Electric Review, May 2007)
