Step into my Laboratory…
The Alexander Laboratories were established in August 2012 at the University of Memphis. Research in the Labs focuses on Science at the Interface – between the phases of gas, liquid, and solid – across the scientific disciplines of chemistry, physics, materials, and biology – and between pure and applied science. In our investigations, we employ state-of-the-art experimental technology in combination with cutting-edge computational approaches. Students in the group are exposed to both facets of the group, providing broad exposure to modern chemistry techniques which span spectroscopy, ultra-high vacuum, computation, instrument design, etc. In formation about a few of our ongoing projects are summarized in the Lab sub-pages.

I am always happy to talk to students interested in our research. We have a need for students who are eager to learn and get involved in developing new and exciting research at UofM!
