About Dr. Edmund Moses Ndip

RESEARCH: Experimental Physical Chemistry – Laser Spectroscopy (materials characterization); Matrix Isolation Spectroscopy; Computational Chemistry applications to problems in chemistry, biology, and materials science; Computer-Assisted Instruction/Simulation-Based Learning.

Thrust !:MATERIALS DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, AND PROPERTIES EVALUATION: Our research efforts focus on the applications of computational chemistry/ molecular modeling to problems in chemistry (molecular and electronic structure and property calculations, elucidation of organic reaction mechanisms; structure activity relationships in natural products and other compounds with significant medicinal and biological activities, and materials science (structure – property relationships in multichromophoric systems, molecular and electronic properties of nanostructured supramolecular assemblies – materials for imaging and electronics). Ab initio and semi-empirical methods are being used to study the electronic (linear and nonlinear optical properties) as well as the molecular properties of azo-, imine-, and vinylene-bridged furan, pyrrole, and thiophene-based organic semiconductors. Our present focus is on the theoretical studies of organic semiconductors. Overall, projects in these areas are interdisciplinary. They involve computation, a wide range of synthetic methodology, and spectroscopic techniques. (2) Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in molecular self-assembly. We are investigating the quantitative role of the hydrogen bond in the aggregation process as well as developing structure-property relationships for multi-functional and multichromophoric materials. (3) Calculations of nonlinear optical properties of supramolecular donor-acceptor systems (Collaboration with Professor JaeTae Seo of the Physics Department). The materials being studied could be candidates for a broad range of applications-optoelectronic devices, telecommunications, quantum computing, photodynamic therapy, etc.

Thrust II: ELUCIDATION OF ORGANIC REACTION MECHANISMS: We are applying ab initio and semiempirical methods to investigate organic reaction mechanisms of interest. We are presently continuing our investigations of the photochemical and thermal decomposition channels of small organic acids.

Thrust Ill: COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION: Computational science (computational chemistry and artificial intelligence) is used to demystify abstract chemistry concepts. Additionally, we are investigating the efficacy of problem-based learning (PBL) and simulation-based learning (SBL) in the development of critical thinking skills in the STEM disciplines (particularly, chemistry).
