What We Do:

In our lab, we are interested in chemistry that happens on surfaces which are exposed to the atmosphere, as well as photochemistry that takes place following vibrational excitation of atmospheric molecules. We use tools from physical, analytical, and theoretical chemistry to try to understand the processes which take place at the interface between the atmosphere and a condensed phase, especially aqueous droplets and organic coatings. We use spectroscopic and theoretical methods to study the chemistry of vibrationally excited molecules in the atmosphere.

Announcements

Congratulations to Morgan for her new paper and for completing the MSc! Way to go!

Heather Schwartz-Narbonne has re-joined the group for the summer of 2020. 

Karen Morenz has re-joined the Donaldson Group, this time as a PhD student.

As the 2019-2020 school year begins, we are very excited to announce that Morgan Vallieres has joined our group! Welcome Morgan!

As we reach the end of summer, we have to say goodbye to Heather, Isabel and Florian. We wish them good luck with all of their future endeavors and they will be missed.
