Welcome

You have reached the website of the Strongin research group of Temple University, located in Philadelphia. The Strongin group is a physical chemistry research group which primarily focuses on using surface analytical techniques to tackle environmental problems; though many other problems which require surface analytical techniques, like industrial catalysis, are being explored as well. The pages of this website include information on our research, facilities, publications, and group members.

Lab News

Congratulations to Dr. Douglas Hausner for the recent completion of his Ph.D. His thesis is titled: Surface Science Investigation: Calcite Reconstruction and Ferrihydrite Reactivity. Dr. Hausner will be continuing to work with us throughout the summer of 2009 while he makes the transition to professional employment. Dr. Hausner has been an integral part of our research group and his absence will surely be noticed.

Also recently graduated are Dr. Jun(Harry) Hao and Dr. Sudeep Debnath for receiving their Ph.D. Dr. Hao completed his Ph.D. thesis on The Effects of Phospholipid Coating on the Inhibition of Pyrite Oxidation Under Biotic and Abiotic Conditions. Dr. Debnath completed his Ph.D. thesis on Surface/Geochemistry of Iron and Magnasese Oxide Nanomaterials in the Environment.
