I am interested in inter-disciplinary projects that intersect the fields of engineering, science and education with applications in modern materials (carbon nanotubes) and alternate energy (biofuels, solar cells). With funding from the Improving Teacher Quality grants, I offer professional development workshops for K-12 in-service teachers to help them develop hands-on inquiry activities focused on topics in matter and energy.
My current research interest is to investigate natural and synthetic ion receptors. In collaboration with Dr. Khan, we have been investigating valinomycin, an antibiotic and a natural K+-selective ion receptor. We have discovered its new ion binding capabilities with Cl- and Ca2+ by applying new spectroscopic techniques. My group also focuses on creating new molecules that bind specific ions in solution and exhibit color changes. Such molecules have an application as a colorimetric ion sensor, which can detect the presence of a certain ion quantitatively. My research students are trained with organic synthesis and spectroscopic analysis using NMR and UV-Vis.
I am interested in sonochemistry, the enhancement of chemical reactions with ultrasounds. I use ultrasounds to enhance enzymatic activity so that optimal conditions of temperature and pH for the enzymatic reactions can be determined. Another interest of mine is the use of spectroscopic techniques to analyze chemicals found in works of art. I also create new laboratory activities for students to learn more about the technical analysis and the making of works of art.
My research group is studying the antioxidant capacity of phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds are known antioxidants present in fruits, vegetables, nuts and leaves. Their antioxidant capacity can be determined in a variety of ways. Currently we are using Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay. We would like to use the results of these assays to determine if a correlation exists between the number and position of groups present on phenolic compounds and their antioxidant capacity. Preliminary results have shown some surprising results and we are currently investing the chemistry of ABTS radical cation and DPPH radial with simple phenols.
The Hansen Laboratory uses optical and laser spectroscopy for studying problems of research interest in chemical physics and biophysics. Chemical Physics research is centered on solvent reorganization, reaction dynamics and proton transfer in super-cooled solutions. Experiments are used to gain a theoretical understanding of the dynamics of these solutions on a microscopic level. Biophysics research focuses on the mechanism and dynamics of denaturation, aggregation and folding of membrane proteins. Unraveling these processes have profound implications in curing society’s most insidious diseases (e.g.; Alzheimer’s and type II diabetes).
We study inter-molecular interactions using mass spectrometry and computational chemistry in a very fruitful collaboration with Professors Fujita and Swamy-Mruthinti. Of particular interest is the binding of cations and anions (or sometimes both) to synthetic and natural ionophores, for example, the antibiotics valinomycin and beauvericin. Such studies provide insights into non-covalent interactions. Serendipitously, we also discovered that valinomycin, well known for its anti-bacterial action by selectively binding potassium over sodium ions, directly binds to anions as well! Former group members are attending some of the best graduate programs in the nation, and one works at the CDC.
Quantum dots (QDs) are a class of semiconductor nanocrystals characterized by their size-dependent electronic structure, which makes them attractive candidates for controlling fluxes of energy and charge at the nanoscale. Research in the McPhail group is currently focused on tracking the reaction kinetics of QD precursors and refining mechanisms of QD synthesis with an eye toward the rational, application-driven design of synthetic procedures. Students will perform air-free synthesis, isolation and purification of QDs, spectroscopic characterization, and kinetic analysis of experimental data. Students will learn principles of inorganic reaction mechanisms, photophysics of semiconductor nanocrystals, chemical properties of QDs, and chemical kinetics.
I am interested in discovering novel drugs which act by inhibiting folate requiring enzymes that play critical roles in DNA biosynthesis, and can thus act as anti-cancer or anti-microbial agents. The focus of our research is in developing synthetic methodology to prepare these designed novel structures. Students learn synthetic, purification and structure elucidation techniques (particularly 1H and 13C NMR). Students who want to pursue careers using synthetic organic chemistry in chemical industry (particularly in discovery and process departments of pharmaceutical and agricultural companies), research institutes, and universities will benefit most from a research experience in my group.
The Slattery Research Laboratory synthetically design organic molecules that are coordinated onto transition metals such as Fe(II) to investigate electron transfer processes and spin state transitions which are reversibly coupled to proton transfer. These systems have potential use as ‘molecular switches’ that can be utilized in electronic devices which include molecular size wires, on/off switches, rectifiers, data storage systems, etc. The characterization and study of these metal complexes involve the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Cyclic Voltammetry, and UV-Visible Spectroscopy Instruments.
I am interested in the development of nanoparticle based methods of the ultra-sensitive biomedical and environmental detection and analysis. We use the unique optical properties of gold and silver structures such as intense absorption, wavelength selective photon scattering, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The sensitivity of the LSPR to the dielectric environment enables us to create sensors that measure binding events by monitoring shifts in the UV-Vis spectrum. The nanoparticles are functionalized –e.g. with capture antibodies – to make them sensitive only to specific target molecules. SERS scattering gives a sensitive molecular “fingerprint” useful in identifying an analyte.
