Research and Scholarship Interests

• Currently my lab is exploring two projects.  First, I am interested in the photochemistry of O2-M complexes (M = organic species).  These systems provide information on the O2 excited states formed by collision complexes following photoexcitation.  Currently, my lab is most interested in nitrogen containing organic species, which are similar to some organic species found in complex biological molecules.  The second project in my lab involves studies of complexes involving atmospheric species.  This project provides an opportunity to study gas collision complexes from a fixed geometry.  Currently my lab has an active project to investigate the X-NO (X = N2, O2) complexes as a means of better understanding collisional quenching of the NO (A) state, which is used in laser induced fluorescence monitoring of atmospheric NO.
