CAREER:Elucidating the Reaction Dynamics of Environmentally Important Halogenated Compounds

华盛顿大学的菲利普·里德获得了实验物理化学项目的职业奖项，该项目研究环境重要化合物的反应动力学。里德将专注于卤化物和其他卤化物种的凝聚相反应。共振拉曼强度分析或时间分辨共振拉曼光谱将被用来研究从初始激发态核演化到基态光产物出现的反应性。该教学计划将包括创建新的课程和教学工具，以加强本科化学课程。为响应最近在环境教育中创建的跨学科计划，正在为环境科学家开发基于互联网的教学方法和一门新的物理化学课程。来自华盛顿大学的本科生和研究生将参加太平洋西北国家实验室的合作研究。

Philip Reid of the University of Washington has received a CAREER award in the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program to study reaction dynamics of environmentally important compounds. Reid will focus on condensed phase reactions of halooxides and other halogenated species. Resonance Raman intensity analysis or time-resolved Resonance Raman spectroscopy will be used to investigate the reactivity from initial excited-state nuclear evolution to the appearance of ground state photoproducts. The teaching program will involve the creation of new courses and instructional tools to enhance the undergraduate chemistry curriculum. Internet-based teaching methods and a new course in physical chemistry for environmental scientists are being developed in response to a recently created interdisciplinary program in environmental education. Undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Washington will participate in collaborative research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratories.
