Research Overview |
Millard Alexander | Theoretical study of inelastic and reactive molecular collisions,
particularly those involving free radicals; the photofragmentation of
small molecules; and the structure and energetics of weakly bound
complexes involving open-shell species Understanding the Chemical Universe: Study Combining Experiment and Theory Affirms Key Premise of Quantum Chemistry |
Jeffery Davis | Supramolecular Chemistry, Molecular Recognition, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Bioorganic Chemistry, Separations Chemistry, NMR Spectroscopy, Synthetic Ion Channels |
Kwaku Dayie | Structure, interactions, dynamics, and function of RNA complexes involved in catalysis and gene regulation; chemical biological methods of labeling RNAs; RNA-Drug interactions, NMR methods development for large macromolecules |
Michael P. Doyle | Asymmetric catalysis with metal carbenes and Lewis acids; structural design and chemistry of dirhodium carboxamidates; catalytic chemical oxidations; bioinorganic chemistry of nitrogen oxides and nitrosyls; reductions by organosilanes.
|
Bryan Eichhorn | Materials Chemistry, Materials Synthesis, Heterogeneous Catalysis, Fuel Cell Research, Transition Metal Main Group Clusters (Zintl Ions), NMR Spectroscopy, Crystallography. |
Catherine Fenselau | Modification of protein structures and abundances by disease and chemotherapy; New methods for mass spectrometry-based proteomics; Rapid identification and forensic analyses of pathogens using mass spectrometry, proteomics and bioinformatics. |
John T. Fourkas | Ultrafast nonlinear optical spectroscopy of liquids; dynamics of nanoconfined liquids; nonlinear optical microscopy; nontraditional approaches to micro- and nanofabrication; dynamics of single molecules and single nanoparticles. |
David Fushman | Structure, dynamics, stability, and function of biological macromolecules. Structural biology and molecular mechanisms of intracellular signaling. Ubiquitin-proteasome system. Structure and dynamics of multidomain proteins. Development and application of new robust theoretical and experimental approaches to protein structure and dynamics in order to understand their roles in protein stability and function. |
Lyle Isaacs | The Isaacs group is interested in supramolecular and synthetic chemistry with an emphasis on molecular container molecules known as cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]). Molecular containers - most commonly cyclodextrins - have enormous everyday applications including scent release and odor control (e.g. Febreeze) in consumer products and foodstuffs. We believe that CB[n] containers will supplant the cyclodextrins in a variety of practical and academic applications with all the attendant societal impact. |
