About Me

I am trained as a Physicist but came to UD from IBM Research Division to start the Materials Science and Engineering Department. I was on sabbatical at Columbia University in the Chemistry department with Nick Turro last year and just returned to Delaware this week. I taught his students about vibrational spectroscopy of materials and learned a lot about photochemistry, which I am importing back to my research group at UD,
