“This is quite a feat — made possible by funding from the Grua/O’Connell Research Award, the John L. Roberts Fund, the National Science Foundation, INBRE faulty grants, and the chemistry department’s Coles Fund endowment,” said Dharni Vasudevan, professor of chemistry and environmental studies at Bowdoin.
Below are the students attending the conference and the titles of their research projects:
- Malcolm Groves’17: Excited-State Intermolecular Proton Transfer in Aminonaphthols
- Danielle Freeman ’17: Building a mechanistic understanding of the sorption of substituted pyridines to aluminosilicate clays
- Leah Alper ’17: Predicting Sorption of Anionic Pharmaceuticals to Soils: An Evaluation of Probe Compounds
- Lauren Nguyen ’17: Characterizing the Reactions Responsible for Aging in Wood-Based Pyrolysis
- Michael Paul ’17: Experimental Determination of Redox Potentials of Environmentally Relevant Pollutants
- Emily Mumford ’17: Tandem Incorporation of Enantiomeric Residues Engenders Discrete Peptoid Structures
- Ellery Rourk ’17: Characterization of Various Platinum(II) Excimers
- Alexander Poblete ’17: Kinetics of Excited State Proton Transfer in Aqueous Reverse Micelles
- David Ruuska ’17: Accurate Absorption Spectra of Aqueous Estrogen Derivatives via Molecular Dynamics/EOM-CCSD
