Expertise

Research Interests:

 

  • UHV surface science
  • Thin film tribology
  • Surface chemistry

Currently, we are investigating the interaction of amine-quinone compounds with iron surfaces.

We are also working on metal/organic thin films with unique mechanical, structural, and optical properties.

We are interested in the relationship between the structure of boundary layer (monolayer) lubricants and their frictional properties.

Areas of Research:

  • Nanomaterials
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Vibrational Spectroscopy.
