Joel Parks’ past research projects in the Trapped Ion Dynamics Group were designed to study the structural dynamics of nanoscale gas-phase species including small metal clusters and biomolecules, by making diffraction measurements of metal cluster...
Reactions useful for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy are often complex because they require multiple charge transfer steps. Coupling electron and proton transfer facilitates these reactions by avoiding the high-energy intermediates...
At the Rowland, the Congreve Lab studied excitonic materials and devices. They sought to better understand the physics in combinations of excitonic materials, and use that knowledge to build more efficient devices such as LEDs and photovoltaics.

At the Rowland, the Wang Lab focused on designing novel nanomaterials for renewable energy and environmental applications including catalysis, rechargeable batteries, as well as CO2 treatment. They combined catalysis and battery studies to open up...
At the Rowland, the focus of the Brucker Lab was on interactions of environmental toxins metabolized by the gut microbiome. They utilized natural product chemistry, ecotoxicology, population genetics, evolution, and experimental microbiota to test...
At the Rowland, the Tao Lab sought structure-property relationships in nanoscale, heterogeneous matter through the development of single-nucleon magnetic resonance imaging. On this journey toward direct, 3D imaging of atomic structures, the lab was...
Microbes are social organisms that are most commonly found forming complex ecological communities. Every species in a community is typically represented by large numbers of cells which may also differ in their individual behaviors. A fascinating fact is...
