| Khoa Lam (LK)
klam03 @syr.edu |
LK is an M.S. student who joined the group in August 2016. His research applies various methods of computational chemistry to study the mechanism and kinetics of the Br-initiated oxidation of mercury in the atmosphere. |
Weiyao Gu wgu100 @syr.edu |
Before joining our Ph.D. program in January 2017, Weiyao obtained an M.S. at Syracuse University studying the interaction of aluminum with organic matter in soil. His experimental studies focus on the as-yet undetected products of of the Br-initiated oxidation of mercury in the atmosphere. He is also doing computational modeling of electron beam chemistry. |
Xavier Schafer schaferx @lemoyne.edu |
Xavier is an MS student doing mass spectrometry of Hg(II) compound, both in the gas phase and the solid phase (with MALDI). These approaches will be applied both to Hg(II) compounds that might be emitted from combustion and to those compounds formed in the atmosphere. |
Taiylor Cristman tqcristm @syr.edu |
Taiylor is a junior who is doing computational research on combustion chemistry and atmospheric mercury chemistry. Her mercury work will focus on reactions of BrHg with organic peroxy radicals. |
Hanna Tetu hltetu @syr.edu |
Hanna is a senior who is doing computational research on combustion chemistry and atmospheric mercury chemistry. Her work on thermodynamics of HOHg reacting with radicals is part of a manuscript being drafted (as of Fall 2018). |
