Chemical Dynamics in Confined Environments

该奖项由化学学部实验物理化学项目资助，科罗拉多州立大学的Nancy Levinger教授将对密闭环境中液体的极性溶剂化动力学进行研究。这些研究将使用超快激光技术进行，其中一些将与Randy Bartels教授（科罗拉多州立大学电气工程专业）合作。这项工作的最终目标是在许多化学和生物学发生的重要和无处不在的受限环境中发展对溶剂化动力学的成熟理解。该研究将由Levinger教授与她的本科生、研究生和博士后同事共同进行。这项研究的结果可能会对从催化到生物学等不同领域产生影响。莱文格教授还将继续她的工作，鼓励和支持本科生研究，并支持妇女更多地参与科学。

In this award, supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Nancy Levinger of Colorado State University will conduct research to study polar solvation dynamics of liquids in confined environments. The studies will be carried out using ultrafast laser techniques, some of which will feature a collaboration with Prof. Randy Bartels (Colorado State University, Electrical Engineering). The ultimate goal of this work is to develop a mature understanding of the dynamics of solvation in the important and ubiquitous confined environments where much of chemistry and biology takes place. The research will be carried out by Prof. Levinger with her undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral colleagues. The results of this study are apt to have an impact in disparate fields ranging from catalysis to biology. Prof. Levinger will also continue her work encouraging and enabling undergraduate research and supporting the increased participation of women in science.
