CAREER: Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Hydrogen Bond Dynamics of Water at Interfaces and Biological Surfaces

在这个由化学系实验物理化学项目资助的职业奖中，州立大学州立大学韦恩的亚历山大V. Benderskii教授和他的研究生和本科生研究生将使用超快、非线性光谱技术来研究界面处的水动力学。 研究的目的是了解界面的性质如何影响界面水的结构和动力学。除了他的研究活动，Benderskii教授将通过韦恩州立大学少数民族学生倡议办公室，与以非洲裔美国人为主的底特律学区的高中学生和初中及高中教师合作。 这项工作的大部分将集中在开发化学演示，以帮助大学预科教师提高学生的学习，特别是针对密歇根州课程科学基准中突出的领域。

In this CAREER award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Alexander V. Benderskii of Wayne State University and his graduate and undergraduate research students will use ultrafast, non-linear spectroscopic techniques to study the dynamics of water at interfaces. The goal of the research is to learn how the nature of the interface influences the structure and dynamics of the interfacial water.In addition to his research activities, Prof. Benderskii will work with high school students and middle and high school teachers in the predominantly African-American Detroit School District, through the Wayne State University Office of Minority Student Initiatives. The bulk of this effort will be focused on developing Chem Demos to assist pre-college teachers in enhancing student learning, particularly targeting areas highlighted in the Michigan Curriculum Science Benchmarks.
