We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

New Instrumentation For Data Acquisition, Data Analysis, Experimental Control, and Modeling in Introductory Physics Laboratories
Bryn Mawr College has a highly successful strategy for introductory physics laboratory instruction involving a mixture of conceptual, quantitative and project-based experiments for small groups of students in a self-paced instructional format grounded in hands-on studies of macroscopic physical phenomena. Nearly 40% of the graduating students (all women) take one of three year-long courses in physics with associated laboratories or a conceptual physics course which takes advantage of the same laboratory apparatus. This program has successfully produced over the last ten years one of largest cadres of women physics majors in the nation. This project introduces computer-aided data acquisition, display, and analysis as well as experimental control into the introductory laboratories. The new capabilities afforded by such instrumentation strengthen the three-phase laboratory structure used in the program. NSF Form 1295 (10/94)

Structure and Dynamics in Highly Excited Molecular States
The structure and decay dynamics of highly excited states in molecules is a research area that has provided a rich and diverse sampling of interesting and important physics. Investigations of processes such as photoionization, photodissociation, and photo-association have required more detailed and accurate knowledge of the unique way molecular systems behave. In particular, understanding the role of electronic and nuclear spin in molecular systems has emerged as important in several areas, for example, high resolution photoionization studies, chemical reaction dynamics and loss mechanisms in cold molecule production in atomic traps. This has led to new theoretical efforts to incorporate electronic and nuclear spin dynamics into the highly successful theoretical approach of multichannel defect theory (MQDT). Fundamental questions are being raised, including: 1) How does spin angular momentum coupling vary with energy in molecular Rydberg states? 2) At what values of principal quantum number and electronic angular momentum do different behaviors emerge for different species? 3) Does nuclear spin affect either electronic or rotational autoionization of Rydberg states into different ionic states? 4) Do spin interactions play a role in the relative branching ratio between ionization and dissociation in the decay of highly excited states? 5) What role does internuclear separation play in these spin dynamics? This project proposes to begin addressing these questions by investigating the structure and dynamics of highly excited molecular states, including the effects of orbital and rotational angular momentum and vibration on molecular spin interactions, by using the novel approach of time-resolved, resonant four-wave mixing spectroscopy. The goal is to perform high energy resolution measurements within a given Rydberg series or a given vibrational progression in order to follow the evolution of angular momentum coupling as a function of energy and internuclear separation. By examining three fundamental systems with distinct molecular structures; H2, N2 and the OH radical, prototypical interactions and dynamics can be systematically investigated. This kind of data, taken together with MQDT analyses, promises to provide new insights into the unique nuclear and electronic angular momentum interactions that molecules exhibit.

Multiresonant Spectroscopy of Long-Range States of Molecular Hydrogen
The structure and decay dynamics of highly excited states in molecules is a research area that has provided a rich and diverse sampling of elucidating physics. The hydrogen molecule, being the simplest stable neutral molecule, is an especially important system for probing fundamental quantum mechanical effects in molecules. A dramatic example is a class of so-called double-well states of unusually large size. The structure and dynamics of these molecular configurations have long been of interest to scientists, but their nature has made them very difficult to create and study. The PI has developed a new excitation scheme that will allow us unprecedented access to these exotic states in molecular hydrogen.
The results of the experimental measurements will provide an important incentive for the development of improved methods of calculating the structure of ?super-excited? molecular configurations where internal energies exceed ionization and dissociation thresholds and large ranges of molecular size must be considered. The results will provide new information about the dynamics of highly excited states of molecular hydrogen and their important role in many astronomical and atmospheric processes. This research program will be conducted at Bryn Mawr College and will provide young women an opportunity to obtain in-depth laboratory research experiences. Engaged in research, members of this underrepresented group in physics will build mentor relationships and explore career expectations that can support their persistence and success in the physical sciences.
