The CU Boulder campus recently hosted the Quantum Materials Synthesis (QMS) Workshop organized by CU Boulder Physics Professor Gang Cao. Supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Colorado Boulder, the workshop drew over 100 participants including 32 invited speakers. The QMS Workshop brought together physicists, materials scientists,...

Read Paper Now A review Professor Patricia Rankin co-authored with Dr. Donna Caccamise of the Institute of Cognitive Science at CU Boulder was just released at the Toyko GS10 Gender Summit. This paper provides a broad review of evidence-based research, underlying theories, and interventions related to women’s representation in the...

We develop new ultrafast laser and x-ray sources as part of our research in optical science, and we apply these light sources for new experiments in physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering

Group page : Our research is focussed on chemical reaction dynamics and mechanism in solution and at surfaces, and allied phenomena such as vibrational energy flow. Our weapons are analytic theory, classical and quantum dynamics, quantum chemistry and simulations. Topics of current interest include water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction,...

The Eaves group uses statistical mechanics, quantum dynamics, and computation to understand physical properties of condensed phase systems and nanostructures. Research in the group focuses on ultrafast exciton dynamics in carbon nanostructures; multi-electron processes in polar solvents, molecular crystals, and nanocrystals; nanoscale isomers of ligands on gold; and the interplay...
