As I have stated in the past, Tfollowed by drinks (6:00) and dinner that evening (7:00) at first and foremost in our plans for the future of the the Georgia Center for Continuing Education. Because of the department is recruitment of faculty. I am pleased large number of Chemistry Alumni, individual invitations will to report that we have successfully recruited a new not be mailed. This is your invitation! We will also send out an Director of General Chemistry Instruction, Professor email reminder about this in the early fall. Please plan to join Norbert Pienta, who comes to us from the University us. To make a reservation, contact Ms. Oksana Korolchuk at of Iowa.

This year, two of our assistant professors, Tina Salguero and Gary Energy Innovation Hub in Fuels Douberly, have received Young Investigator Awards from the Department from Sunlight. From 1981 to 1988, he was on the faculty at of Energy. These awards are made annually to young faculty in a variety of Stanford, as an assistant professor from 1981 to 1985 and as disciplines, and only six were made to chemists last year. It is an enormous honor a tenured Associate Professor from 1986 to 1988. Dr. Lewis for our department that two of our faculty members have received this award in received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Massachusetts the same year. Both Gary and Tina have built up very strong research programs in Institute of Technology. their short time at Georgia, and the substantial grant that comes with this award Dr. Lewis has been an Alfred P.

All of our assistant professors hold federal grants, and some have multiple interfaces, novel uses of conducting organic polymers and grants, which is a good sign for the future.

We received over $1M this year to purchase a new mass spectrometer for our Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry Facility and some new NMR instrumentation for our departmental facility. Collectively, we have done very well in the business of garnering support for our research activities. Our graduate program is doing well – we greeted 33 new students this fall. We will continue to grow the size of our graduate program (currently Dr. William Klemperer and Distinguished Alumnus Dr. Richard Ridgdill at the 160 students) as we grow our faculty.

  • 2012 6Th Annual Dasari Lecture Robert Field, MIT “Molecules
    2012 6th Annual Dasari Lecture Robert Field, MIT “Molecules behaving badly” Robert Field was born in Wilmington, Delaware in 1944. He graduated from Amherst College in 1965 with an A.B. degree (major in Chemistry). As a graduate student at Harvard, he was a member of William Klemperer’s research group, and received his Ph.D. degree in 1972. He did three years of postdoctoral research with Herbert P. Broida and David Harris in the Quantum Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since 1974, he has been a member of the MIT Chemistry Department and has been the Haslam and Dewey Professor of Chemistry since 1999. His continuous connection with the MIT Spectroscopy Laboratory began with the Tunable Laser Facility in 1975. Aside from his appointment as Chair of the Graduate Committee in Chemistry, he has, for 38 years, successfully avoided all administrative positions at MIT and intends to keep that record intact. Bob’s current favorite self-descriptors are “dynamics encoded in the frequency domain” and “molecules behaving badly.” He is a card-carrying high resolution spectroscopist, but likes to look “beyond molecular constants” in search of new classes of spectral patterns that reveal the far-from-equilibrium regions of a potential energy surface. As a graduate student he began his spectroscopic magical mystery tour as a collector of spectroscopic perturbations, especially those of the CO molecule. He invented the “matrix element method” for assigning the vibrational quantum numbers of nominally “dark” perturbing states from the vibration dependence of experimentally measured perturbation matrix elements. This led to “The Book” (Perturbations in the Spectra of Diatomic Molecules) and to perturbation facilitated optical-optical double resonance, by which perturbations provide excitation pathways to otherwise inaccessible electronic states.

    266 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TERAHERTZ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 2, NO. 3, MAY 2012 Terahertz Pioneer: Richard J. Saykally Water, Water EverywhereFFF Peter H. Siegel, Fellow, IEEE ROWING UP as the son of a grocery store owner and G school teacher in rural northern Wisconsin, Richard James Saykally1 boasts that he was the smartest kid in his grade school class because the other guy could never get past long division! When not focusing on his rock band, football, or the most common pursuit of young men in their teens (and perhaps at any age), his college interests shifted from forestry to English and finally back to science where he majored in chemistry. Perhaps it was prescient that he graduated from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and ended up with a stellar academic career focused largely on unraveling the chemical properties of water. In 1970, Saykally entered graduate school at the University of Wisconsin Madison as an analytical chemist. There he connected with assistant professor Claude Woods, who was designing his pioneering experiments to measure microwave spectra of molecular ions. As his first assignment, Woods gave Saykally his personal copy (autographed!) of Townes and Schawlow’s, Microwave Spectroscopy [1] and Gerhard RICHARD J. SAYKALLY Herzberg’s, Diatomic Molecules [2], which he decided to treat like English literature, and read while relaxing at a nearby lakeside retreat. After dozing off to dream about oscillating molecules, he woke up to find Townes’s text being torn to shreds by a local quadruped that, for some reason, refused to Near the end of 1971, William Klemperer, noted microwave touch the Herzberg volume.

    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ROTATIONAL SPECTRA OF WEAKLY BOUND COMPLEXES Stewart Novick Department of Chemistry Wesleyan University Middletown, Connecticut 06459 [email protected] https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/home/snovick/SN_webpage/vdw.pdf ABSTRACT. The following bibliography contains references to high resolution experimental studies of weakly bound complexes. The list was originally compiled to include only microwave experiments, but has since grown to include other experiments done to rotational resolution. In addition, some experimentally oriented theoretical calculations have been included. I make no claims of completeness for this bibliography and apologize in advance for the inevitable omissions. I would appreciate learning about any errors and oversights in the compilation. This bibliography is an updated version of a publication of the same name which appeared in "Structure and Dynamics of Weakly Bound Molecular Complexes", ed. A. Weber, pg 201, (Reidel, Dordrecht, 1987). The format of font size 8 allows for one line per reference in most cases. When referencing this bibliography in the literature, please cite: “S. E. Novick, Bibliography of Rotational Spectra of Weakly Bound Complexes, (2019), https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/home/snovick/SN_webpage/vdw.pdf”. The "nominally inclusive" date signifies that the bibliography is most reliable up to that publication date. There are more recent entries, but they are only a subset of the literature.
