Physical chemistry
The general session on physical chemistry is open for abstract submission. The symposium will emphasize but will be not limited to thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical and electrochemical reactions, molecular structures and interactions and a variety of practical applications associated with current trends in the world of nano dimensions. Oral and poster presentations on related topics as well as research reports in other traditional fields of the physical chemistry such as photochemistry, spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, computational chemistry, solid-state chemistry and biophysical chemistry are welcome.
This session will take place on the afternoon of Friday, June 4th in Dunn 208.
Session organizer
Dr. Nikolay Dimitrov is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Binghamton University-SUNY in New York.
Prof. Dimitrov received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, Bulgaria in 1993. After a postdoctoral training 1996-1999 and an appointment as research professor 2000-2003, both at Arizona State University, Tempe AZ, USA, he joined the faculty ranks at SUNY - Binghamton in 2003. His interests are in the field of surface electrochemistry of metals and alloys with application targets in catalysis, analytical methods and materials processing. His research group emphasizes novel approaches to electrochemical thin film growth and processing of nano-porous substrates. In Binghamton, Dr. Dimitrov has taught General Chemistry Principles, Analytical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, Advanced Analytical Chemistry and Electroanalysis and Electrochemical Processing of Materials.
