Amy Keirstead presents research at American Chemical Society National Meeting

Amy Keirstead, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Physics, presented her research at the 243rd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society held March 25-29, 2012 in San Diego. Her presentation, titled “Emission spectroscopy as a tool to study the dynamics of spiropyran photochromism in the ionic liquid [BMIM][BF4],” included contributions from student co-authors Robyn Gaudet (Chemistry ‘11), Annie Leslie (Neuroscience ‘13), and Sean Naughton (Biochemistry and Medical Biology ‘13).

This work is part of Dr. Keirstead’s research program that investigates the use of ionic liquids for a variety of green chemistry and nanotechnology applications and was supported by the 鶹ýCollege of Arts and Sciences and the Vice-President for Research mini-grant programs.
