Curriculum Vitae
Research & Major Accomplishments
Students in the Hock group will learn to synthesize and characterize novel substances throughout the course of their research. We routinely use techniques such as multi-nuclear NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and x-ray crystallography to characterize molecular substances. The composition and properties of new materials are routinely determined by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Scanning and Tunneling Electron Microscopy (SEM & TEM), and diffraction methods as well as optical, electrical, and other measurements where appropriate.
