New Lab In Welch Hall
We are excited to be moving into our new lab in Welch Hall. The move will take place early in spring semester 2017.
Emily joins the group
Emily Ma joins the group as an undergraduate researcher. Welcome Emily.
We received a UT CNS Catalyst Grant!
We received seed funding from the College of Natural Sciences to begin a collaboration project with Prof. Richard Aldrich (UT Dept of Neuroscience).
The purpose of this project is to study protein conformational changes induced by ion binding. Ultrafast 2D IR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations will be used to capture bond-by-bond “snapshots” of protein conformations with extremely fast time resolution, thus measuring molecular motion that is “blurred out” by conventional experimental techniques. The project combines the biochemistry expertise of Aldrich’s group and the time-resolved spectroscopy capabilities of Baiz’s group.

Southwest Ultrafast Conference
The Roberts and Baiz groups will be jointly hosting the First Southwest Ultrafast Conference at UT-Austin on June 16-17, 2016. We are looking forward to a great conference!
Registration is free!
First 2DIR Spectrum!
We now have a working 2DIR setup! We measured our first test 2DIR spectrum this week (Mn2(CO)10 in hexane).
