Department of Chemistry
Distinguished University Teaching Professor, Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry
- Chemical Physics
- Experimental Physical Chemistry
We use anion photoelectron spectroscopy and flow tube ion-molecule chemistry to study the gas phase structures and reactivities of metals and metal-ligand complexes. The electron affinities, electronic state energies and vibrational frequencies measured in these experiments provide insight into the chemical bonding and energetics of the neutral and negatively charged metal dimers, clusters and organometallic complexes…
Physics
Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
Pryke is an experimental cosmologist and educator. His research currently centers on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - the after glow from early times when the Universe was a smooth hot plasma. By studying the CMB we can learn much about the origin, contents and ultimate fate of the Universe - CMB studies are at the center of the current "golden age" of cosmology. Pryke has played a leading role in the construction and…

Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering
Associate Professor, McKnight Presidential Fellow
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering and at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory at the University of Minnesota (UMN). I obtained my MSc and PhD degrees in Environmental Engineering at MIT in 2015 and 2018, respectively. Before joining UMN, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University from 2018 to 2020. I am a passionate…

Data Science Initiative
Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering
Kang is interested in developing human-centered language technologies. His research is focused on developing interdisciplinary methods for natural language processing (NLP) models and building interactive NLP systems for scientists and creative writers.
Data Science
Professor, Distinguished University Teaching Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering
Keefe's research explores a broad range of topics in the areas of visualization, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction. His current projects center on data visualization in extended reality, data "physicalization" (e.g., via multi-material 3D printing), data storytelling, community-engaged co-design, ensemble visualization for climate science and other high-performance computing applications, and basic research in 3D user interfaces, haptics,…

Postdoctoral Associate — University of California, Santa Barbara
- Computational and experimental studies on 3-dimensional hole transport within nitride unipolar heterostructures using landscape theory
- Growing test structures via Molecular Beam Epitaxy
- Applying landscape theory to alloy scattering mobility calculations
- Computational studies on the effects of threading dislocations on the properties of GaN p-n diodes in forward
- Reverse bias focusing on simulations of current conduction of holes and electrons as well as…
Physics
Postdoctoral Associate, School of Physics and Astronomy
I am a theoretical physicist working on condensed matter physics, with an emphasis on understanding the emergent collective phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems. I am particularly interested in highly frustrated magnetism, including both insulating and itinerant magnets, where the electronic correlations lead to a rich family of emergent phenomena, including the high-temperature superconductivity, classical and quantum spin liquids, fractional and topological excitations, and…
