Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

Andrei Tokmakoff博士获得了美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。Tokmakoff博士在斯坦福大学Michael Fayer教授的指导下获得博士学位。Tokmakoff博士将在芝加哥大学的Graham Fleming教授的赞助下继续研究。他的博士后研究方向是水、水溶液和其他复杂液体的溶剂模式。飞秒可见脉冲将通过5阶和7阶非线性拉曼光谱和线性拉曼诱导克尔效应实验来了解液体的低频模式和结构演化。在描述高阶非线性实验方面，特别是在描述定向运动对相干实验的影响方面，将取得理论进展。该研究将有助于我们对凝聚相化学体系的超快光谱的概念和技术的理解。化学博士后研究奖学金项目被视为一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。

Dr. Andrei Tokmakoff has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Tokmakoff received his doctoral degree from Stanford University under the supervision of Professor Michael Fayer. Dr. Tokmakoff will continue research at the University of Chicago under the sponsorship of Professor Graham Fleming. His postdoctoral research will target the study of solvent modes in water, aqueous solutions, and other complex liquids. Femtosecond visible pulses will be used to understand low frequency modes and structural evolution of liquids with 5th and 7th order nonlinear Raman spectroscopy and linear Raman-induced Kerr effect experiments. Theoretical advances will be made in the description of high-order nonlinear experiments, particularly in the description of the influence of orientational motion on coherence experiments. The research will contribute to our understanding of the concepts and techniques of ultrafast spectroscopy of condensed phase chemical systems. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph. D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
