SETON HILL UNIVERSITY, Department of Chemistry, Greensburg, PA Sept. 2013 - May 2014
Research Assistant for Physical Chemistry Professor Diane Miller
●Studied impact of changes in the composition of magnetic fields of carbon rings. Work confirmed that changing the position of a substituent (branch of a chemical group in a ring of carbon) modifies the polarity, resulting in different interactions with other molecules. Research implications of finding could expand techniques for studying the behavior of fluorescent molecules.
