Dr. Joel Schrauben jschraub[at]gmail.com B.S.c. 2005, Univ. of Michigan (chemistry) Ph.D. 2010, Michigan State (McCusker) Joel is studying the role of protons in the thermodynamics and kinetics of redox processes at solution/oxide semiconductor interfaces. These processes have importance to understanding the mineral chemistry of natural waters and in wide-ranging applications such as solar fuels and wastewater remediation. The aim is to bring a small molecule, atomic-scale focus to processes that have traditionally been discussed in terms of bulk properties and band structures. |

Dr. Alex Fox alexander.r.fox[at]gmail.com B.S. Honors 2004, U.C. Davis (chemistry) Ph.D. 2010, MIT (Cummins) Alex is currently exploring the proton-electron transfer chemistry of porphyin iron(oxo) and iron(hydroxo) complexes. Click here to visit Alex's webpage! |

Dr. Johanna
Blacquiere jb44[at]uw.com B.Sc. Honours, 2005, Mount Allison University-- New Brunswick, Canada (chemistry) Ph.D. 2011, University of Ottawa (Fogg) Johanna is interested in the design of molecular electrocatalysts for applications in O2 reduction. Incorporation of a proton relay functionality in the ligand framework is expected to improve catalyst performance. |
 |
Dr. Alex Miller milleraj[at]uw.edu B.S. 2005, University of Chicago (chemistry) Ph.D. 2010, Caltech (Bercaw) Alex is investigating the synthesis and mechanistic study of separated hydride transfer (as H-atom + 1 electron). Can a tethered phenoxyl-ferrocenium species act as a hydride acceptor, and is the hydride transfer concerted or stepwise? |
 |
Dr. Caroline Saouma csaouma[at]uw.edu B.S. 2005, MIT (chemistry) Ph.D. 2011, Caltech (Peters) Caroline is interested in studying PCET at biomimetic [Fe-S] clusters. |
Graduate Students
 |
Tristan Tronic tronic[at]uw.edu B.S. 2007, William and Mary (chemistry) 5th year graduate student Tristan is studying the proton-coupled reduction of oxygen to water with organometallic ruthenium complexes with non-coordinating basic sites in the ligands, focusing on the ability of these ligand systems to act as "proton relays" and facilitate PCET. |
 |
Shoshanna Barnett sbarnett[at]u.washington.edu B.A./M.S. 2008, Brandeis University (chemistry) 4th year graduate student Shoshanna is studying the mechanism of water oxidation using dicopper compounds. |
 |
David Lao davidlao[at]u.washington.edu B.S. 2007, UW (chem engineering) 4th year graduate student David's research is focused on the development of a catalytic cycle for the oligomerization of methane. |
 |
Tom Porter portet[at]uw.edu B.S. 2009, Washington State University (chemistry) 3rd year graduate student Tom is interested in studying CPET in biomimetic heme models. |
 |
Jessica Wittman jessica.wittman[at]gmail.com B.S. 2009, Montana State University (chemistry) 3rd year graduate student Jessica is studying proton-coupled electron transfer of ruthenium complexes with separation between the Ru redox center and the ligand basic site. |
 |
Miles Braten bratenm[at]uw.edu B.S. 2008, University of San Francisco (chemistry) 2nd year graduate student Miles is looking into charging processes of metal oxide nanoparticles. |
 |
Carolyn
Valdez cnvaldez[at]uw.com B.S. 2010, Caltech (chemistry) 2nd year graduate student Carolyn is interested in understanding zinc oxide nanoparticles from the perspective of a small molecule chemist, and is studying their electron transfer properties and electrochemistry. |
