As an electrochemical materials scientist, I am interested in studying the nature and kinetics of electron transfer reactions. Use of spectroscopy, often simultaneously with electrochemistry, provides the chemical and molecular nature of the same reactions. Recently, I have been conducting interdisciplinary studies to understand the nature of electron transfer processes mediated by biological molecules and microorganisms. More specifically, I have been developing a novel process for removal of contaminants such as heavy metals and <o:p></o:p> radionuclides from groundwater. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h1>Education<o:p></o:p></h1> <o:p> </o:p> Research Fellow, Materials Sc. & Eng, <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State>, Stony <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Brook</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>, 2004<o:p></o:p> Ph.D. - Materials Sc. & Eng, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY, 2003<o:p></o:p> M.

Dev Chidambaram<o:p></o:p> The major part of my research is focused on utilizing electrochemistry and spectroscopy to problems in materials, biological, and environmental sciences. As an electrochemical materials scientist, I am interested in studying the nature and kinetics of electron transfer reactions. Use of spectroscopy, often simultaneously with electrochemistry, provides the chemical and molecular nature of the same reactions. Recently, I have been conducting interdisciplinary studies to understand the nature of electron transfer processes mediated by biological molecules and microorganisms. More specifically, I have been developing a novel process for removal of contaminants such as heavy metals and <o:p></o:p> radionuclides from groundwater. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h1>Education<o:p></o:p></h1> <o:p> </o:p> Research Fellow, Materials Sc. & Eng, <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State>, Stony <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Brook</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>, 2004<o:p></o:p> Ph.D. - Materials Sc. & Eng, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY, 2003<o:p></o:p> M.

As an electrochemical materials scientist, I am interested in studying the nature and kinetics of electron transfer reactions. Use of spectroscopy, often simultaneously with electrochemistry, provides the chemical and molecular nature of the same reactions. Recently, I have been conducting interdisciplinary studies to understand the nature of electron transfer processes mediated by biological molecules and microorganisms. More specifically, I have been developing a novel process for removal of contaminants such as heavy metals and <o:p></o:p> radionuclides from groundwater. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h1>Education<o:p></o:p></h1> <o:p> </o:p> Research Fellow, Materials Sc. & Eng, <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State>, Stony <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Brook</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>, 2004<o:p></o:p> Ph.D. - Materials Sc. & Eng, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY, 2003<o:p></o:p> M.

Dev Chidambaram<o:p></o:p> The major part of my research is focused on utilizing electrochemistry and spectroscopy to problems in materials, biological, and environmental sciences. As an electrochemical materials scientist, I am interested in studying the nature and kinetics of electron transfer reactions. Use of spectroscopy, often simultaneously with electrochemistry, provides the chemical and molecular nature of the same reactions. Recently, I have been conducting interdisciplinary studies to understand the nature of electron transfer processes mediated by biological molecules and microorganisms. More specifically, I have been developing a novel process for removal of contaminants such as heavy metals and <o:p></o:p> radionuclides from groundwater. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <h1>Education<o:p></o:p></h1> <o:p> </o:p> Research Fellow, Materials Sc. & Eng, <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:State w:st="on">New York</st1:State>, Stony <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Brook</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>, 2004<o:p></o:p> Ph.D. - Materials Sc. & Eng, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY, 2003<o:p></o:p> M.
