Professor Emeritus

Education:

- Ph.D. University of Illinois, 1975
- B.S. Montana State University, 1970

Research Interests:

My recent research has focused on the development of effective model Hamiltonians which can be used to study the properties of organic polymers. Another major research component has been the effort to understand the structure and properties of hollow carbon fullerene molecules. Other work has concerned the nature of aromaticity in chemistry, the interactions of molecules with magnetic fields, and the dynamics of chemical reactions.
