Physical Chemistry at SDSU
Physical Chemistry is the study of those fundamental laws that govern the
behavior of all molecules. If you're a chemist, and you want to
understand what you're doing, then you're a physical chemist.
P-chem and p-chem-ish labs at SDSU include:
- David Pullman's group,
studying chemistry of nanomaterials and surfaces by experimental and
and computational methods;
- Andrew Cooksy's group,
investigating the properties of reactive chemical intermediates
in combustion, interstellar chemistry, and biochemistry;
- Greg Holland's group,
using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to probe the properties of
biomaterials;
- Bill Tong's group,
pioneering the application of non-linear spectroscopy to a wide range
of chemical analytes, including biochemicals;
- Karen Peterson,
studying the spectroscopic properties of weakly-bonded hydrocarbon
complexes.
