**RESEARCH STUDENTS AND ASSOCIATES**

Over 100 graduate students, postdoctoral associates and undergraduate
students have participated in research in Professor Richmond's
laboratory. For a complete list of participants, consult:
<http://richmondscience.uoregon.edu/research_group.html>.

**RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS**

Professor Richmond has published over 165 articles on scientific
advances and discoveries from her research program. The papers cover a
range of scientific topics including: the molecular structure and
hydrogen bonding of water surfaces and the surfaces of aqueous solutions
of salts, ions, surfactants, and acids; the behavior of water near
hydrophobic surfaces including oils, monolayer films and polymers; the
molecular structure and chemistry of environmentally important
adsorbates on liquid and solid surfaces, the dynamics of molecular
assembly of surfactants and biomolecules at liquid and solid/liquid
interfaces; the carrier dynamics of photo-induced processes at
semiconductor/liquid junctions; the development and application of
nonlinear optical techniques and theoretical molecular simulations for
probing complex interfaces; the design and construction of ultra-fast
optical systems for such applications; and the characterization of the
nonlinear optical response from metals, semiconductors and liquid
surfaces. For a full list of publications see:

**SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH LECTURES, ADDRESSES AND SEMINARS**

Professor Richmond has given many named lectureships, plenary speeches
and several hundred invited seminars in the U.S. and abroad on her
scientific research, on her teaching efforts in science literacy and on
her activities in the recruitment and retention of underrepresented
groups in science and engineering. For a description of recent talks
