Welcome to the Crespo Group Webpage!
Research in Professor Crespo's group focuses on biologically and environmentally relevant reaction processes, with the chief aim of understanding in detail their mechanistic aspects at the molecular level. Our group use traditional analytical instrumentation and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques to produce specific knowledge of the factors controlling and affecting these reactions. The experimental works are complemented with a variety of computational methods readily available in computational chemistry. The research endeavors in Prof. Crespo’s group is cross-disciplinary and covers diverse areas of chemistry, exposing undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral associates to cutting edge research and state-of-the-art technologies. These research experiences contribute towards their integration into mainstream scientific activities.
Students involved in these scientific activities acquire expertise in a wide variety of analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry (and their hybrids), nuclear magnetic resonance, infra red and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometric techniques, and time-resolved absorption and fluorescence instrumentation with femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond time resolution. Opportunities exist for complementing experimental work with molecular dynamics simulation and high-level quantum chemical calculations.
Research Interests: Ultrafast Spectroscopy, Biophysics, Organic Photochemistry and Photophysics, Analytical and Environmental Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Chemical Dynamics and Kinetics.
