Bio

My research interests have focused on the character of intermolecular interactions. Currently, I am involved in three separate projects in this area: 1) Ligand exchange kinetics on the surface of silver nanoparticles, done in collaboration with Dr. David Pullman; 2) Binding constants of sulfonamides with fluoride ion and acetate ion, done in collaboration with Drs. Somanathan and Lafferty; and 3) Microwave spectroscopic and theoretical studies of van der Waals complexes containing alkanes, e. g., CH4-C3H8, primarily done at Wesleyan University in Dr. Stew Novick’s lab.
