WHAT WE DO:
It is the ambition of this group to understand chemical
reactions, one molecule at a time, with spatial and temporal resolution
sufficient to resolve the making and breaking of individual bonds. We
look forward to the day when we will be able to visualize how energy,
localized in one part of a single molecule, redistributes itself to
other parts of the molecule and to its surroundings. We have a dream
that we will build supra-molecular structures by simply mixing the
precursors together and allowing them to self-assemble in a
predetermined manner. The realization of these dreams requires that we
understand interfacial and nanoscale phenomena at a fundamental level.
This journey will change the way that we think about chemistry.
The objective of this research program is to advance our
understanding of interfacial science and to develop technical abilities
so that we can address the challenges posed by these dreams. |
