Myrna Simpson (University of Toronto) has been promoted to the rank of Full Professor (Environmental Chemistry) starting July 1, 2011.
Myrna received a BSc (Chemistry & Mathematical Sciences) and a PhD (Environmental Soil Chemistry) from the University of Alberta. Myrna joined the University of Toronto in 2002 after a 2.5 year postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. Patrick Hatcher in the Department of Chemistry at the Ohio State University.
Myrna's research in environmental and analytical chemistry involves the development and application of molecular-level analytical tools to improve the fundamental understanding of soil environmental processes. In particular her group is using advanced mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods to characterize, monitor and predict the fate of soil organic matter components in various environments. In 2010 she was awarded the SETAC/Royal Society of Chemistry Award in Environmental Science for "outstanding contributions that have advanced the understanding or development of environmental systems, technologies, methodologies or other relevant research in the environmental sciences".
In addition to teaching and research, Myrna acts as the Associate Director of the Environmental NMR Centre of the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences, the University of Toronto.

Abstract
We present a historical recollection on the development of the software package SIMPSON (SIMulation Package for SOlid-state Nmr). This covers a brief description of the underlying ideas and events leading to creation of SIMPSON and numerous auxiliary programs as well as comments on its...
