Noftle, Ronald E. - Wake Forest University

个人简介

B.S., 1961, University of New Hampshire Ph.D., 1966, University of Washington (G. H. Cady) Postdoctoral Fellow, 1966-1967, University of Idaho (J. M. Shreeve) Visiting Scientist, 1975-76; U. S. Naval Research Laboratory (W. B. Fox) Reynolds Research Leave, 1986, 1995, University of Southampton, England (D. Pletcher), 2003, Los Alamos National Laboratory (T. J. Meyer, J. Schoonover, D. Dattelbaum). Associate of the WFU Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials. Recently awarded “Senior Scientist Mentor” by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation Prof. Noftle is not taking new graduate students or postdoctoral fellows; he is continuing to work with undergraduate students on research.

研究领域

Prof. Noftle is interested in the synthesis and characterization of new materials which have applications in electronics, optics and medicine. These substances have the potential to be utilized as charge storage media, light-emitting diodes, metal uptake and release agents, trace metal ion sensors, and drug delivery agents. One project is concerned with the preparation and properties of new thiophene compounds which form electrically conducting polymers while another (in collaboration with Prof. Lachgar) involves the synthesis of new metal-organic framework materials which may act as high-capacity hydrogen storage agents. A multitude of techniques are used in our research including infrared, NMR, fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, x-ray crystallography, thermal gravimetric analysis, and electrochemistry. Students may become involved in all or any parts of this research.
