Materials Chemistry/Physical Chemistry

Ultrafast laser spectroscopy in condensed phases, electron-transfer and solvation dynamics The focus of our the research efforts in our group involves ionic liquids, or molten salts that are liquid at room temperature. We study the physical and chemical behaviors of these novel liquids using a combination of methods, including time-resolved laser spectroscopy, synchrotron-based x-ray scattering and multi-dimensional NMR experiments. We will on occasion synthesize a novel ionic liquid that is expected to display unique properties. We enjoy participating in a wide range of collaborations, including those with the Blank, Margulis, Maronceli and Wishart groups.
