- Research Interests:
Dr. Palmer's research interests span the
areas of analytical, inorganic and physical
chemistry. Current projects involve the use of
FTIR spectroscopy in the investigation of
dynamic processes on the nanosecond to
millisecond time scale. Included are
nanosecond studies of photoexcited states in
metalloproteins and other metal complexes,
rheo-optical measurements of the
sub-molecular dynamics of polymer films
perturbed by mechanical fields and
development of fiber optic-based
photothermal spectral detection for materials
and biomedical applications.
