Sarah J. Schmidtke
Assistant Professor Of Chemistry
The College of Wooster

The focus of our research is combining computational and spectroscopic techniques to gain a fundamental understanding of the molecular level origin of spectroscopic properties of solution phase systems. Currently we are focusing upon solvatochromic properties of a class of UV-absorbers used in sunscreens and hydrogen bonding interactions of nucleobases. Please see our research page for more information.
