A researcher in the areas of inorganic and solid state and synthetic chemistry, Professor of Chemistry Louise Berben is leading studies of redox reactions for development of sustainable, economic methods for capturing and storing energy from renewable resources, and chemical processes for decreasing waste product from these activities.
Professor of Chemistry R. David Britt is internationally renowned for his contributions to chemical enzymology, namely the characterization of the catalytic mechanisms of metalloenzymes and synthetic catalysts that are crucial to sustainable energy and medicine, and for engaging novel Enzyme Reaction Prediction (ERP) methods.
Professor of Chemistry Frank E. Osterloh's interests span the chemical, physical, and catalytic properties of inorganic nanomaterials for application to solar energy conversion and other technologies.
Professor of Chemistry Dean Tantillo's research in organic chemistry is driven by mechanisitic questions, particularly regarding the origins of low activation barriers and high regio- and stereoselectivities for various cascade polycyclization reactions.
