ProfessorBryce Williamson

Research interests include: magnetooptical studies of chemical species ranging from diatomic radicals to transition-metal complexes and model compounds for biologically important molecules; UV/visible spectroscopy of matrix-isolated species; development of theoretical methods for extracting excited-state information concerning spin-orbit coupling, crystal-field interactions and vibronic effects from analysis of magnetooptical (MCD and MCPL) spectra; grazing-angle FT-IRRAS spectroscopy as a means to quantify trace contamination of surfaces; and chemistry and science education.
