Barnard Chemistry Summer 2009 Research Program
Interested in summer research in Chemistry at Barnard?
Marisa Buzzeo - 1007 Schapiro (CEPSR), 4-6163, mb648@columbia.edu
Biological Physical Chemistry
Students who work with Dr. Buzzeo will employ physical methods, including electrochemistry,
microscopy, and nanofabrication to understand and explore biological problems.
John Magyar - 602 Altschul, 4-2074, jmagyar@barnar.edu
Environmental Bioinorganic Chemistry
The Magyar Group studies how certain environmentally significant microorganisms acquire metal ions and regulate metal ion concentrations in the cell.
Dina Merrer - 705 Altschul, 4-9631, dmerrer@barnard.edu
Physical Organic Chemistry
Students who work with Dr. Merrer determine the kinetics and mechanisms of carbene additions to strained cyclic molecules.
Christian Rojas - 702 Altschul, 4-5480, crojas@barnard.edu
Organic Synthesis
Dr. Rojas works on
development of methods for nitrogen atom transfer and application of those
methods to carbohydrate synthesis.
Latha Venkataraman (CU Nanocenter) - 201 S.W. Mudd, 4-1786, lv2117@columbia.edu
Physical
Chemistry
We measure
fundamental properties of single molecule devices, seeking to understand the
interplay of physics, chemistry, and engineering at the nanometer scale.
Alison Williams - 605 Altschul, 4-4879, awilliam@barnard.edu
Biophysical Chemistry
We investigate the influence of environment on the structural and thermodynamic properties of DNA oligonucleotides.
