Icer Student Highlights: Tayeb Kakeshpour
Tayeb’s research generally focuses on hydrogen bonds, aiming to understand the factors that determine their strength in various chemical contexts. He has shown that hydrogen bonds can enhance or inhibit “aromaticity”, a special mode of stabilization common to many organic and biomolecules; the result is an ability to purposefully tune the molecules’ “stickiness”.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) including Radu Custelcean, an MSU Chemistry Ph.D. graduate from Professor Ned Jackson’s group in 2000, have found a simple, reliable process to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, offering a new option for carbon capture and storage strategies to help combat global warming.
'Polyatomic Molecules under Intense Femtosecond Laser Irradiation' has been highlighted in the current issue of J Phys Chem A.
