Eileen M. SpainO Education Publications	Spain's Research Program Norris Hall of Chemistry, NC 307 Interfacial Chemistry on the Nanoscale:  I am interested in understanding the formation, structure, and dynamics of a wide range of films, interfaces, and nanometer sized structures. Nanothemes include Structure and Reactivity of Interfacial Quantum Dots, Biological Interfaces including Uptake and Transport by Bacteria, and Perfluoro compounds at Interfaces for Environmental Remediation. We enjoy collaborations with students from several majors (Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, Cognitive Science, and Kinesiology) Research for the May 2009 through August 2010: 1. Marangoni Flow from a  Liquid-Liquid Interface with coinage metal nanostructures 2. Chemical Dynamics and the Physical Properties of Bacterial Processes at Interfaces (with Dr. Landry and the research groups of  Prof. M. Ferguson (SUNY) and Prof. Megan Nunez (Mt. Holyoke College, as well as Prof.  Leadbetter at Caltech). 3. Interfacial Chemistry of Perfluoro Compounds at the Air-Water Interface (N. Dalleska and Chad Vecitis, Yale) Research that is waiting for the motivated student Iron Acquisition by Bacterial Predators (with Prof. M. Ferguson ) Anti-oxidant Chemistry from Microbial Stress Past Work: (please see publication list to left!)
