Kuroda, Daniel - Louisiana State University

个人简介

Prof. Daniel G. Kuroda was born and raised in Buenos Aires city, Argentina. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from University of Buenos Aires in March of 2002. During his undergraduate studies, Daniel was introduced to scientific research in the physical chemistry laboratory of Prof. Marceca in which he was part of the project dedicated to the study of gas phase reactions by mass spectrometry. After completing his undergraduate studies, he moved to the USA to obtain his doctoral degree. In 2008, he earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry under the direction of Prof. Kleiman at Chemistry Department of University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Daniel’s Ph.D. work consisted on studying how to control the photo-induced energy transfer process with tailored ultrafast laser pulses. Daniel later moved to the Ultrafast Optical Processes Laboratory at University of Pennsylvania where he conducted his post-doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. Robin Hochstrasser for five years. During his stay at the University of Pennsylvania, Daniel was committed to the study of hydration/solvation dynamics of molecular and ionic systems in condensed phase by Two-dimensional infrared laser spectroscopy and complementary theoretical investigations. In August of 2013, he joined the Chemistry Department at Louisiana State University as an assistant professor where he will conduct his studies on the solvation dynamics and mechanism of novel materials using ultrafast laser spectroscopies.

研究领域

Our research interest is focused on studying the dynamics and spatial rearrangements of complex processes occurring in homogeneous/heterogeneous liquid environments, such as novel polymers and solvents. For this purpose, we use time resolved spectroscopic tools, including state-of-the-art Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D IR), and first-principles theories and molecular dynamics simulations. The goal of our research is not only to characterize the time evolution of these molecular systems in and out of thermal equilibrium, but also to gain mechanistic information regarding the different molecular interactions and their particular contribution in each thermal regime.
