SEMINAR SPEAKER: Dr. Etienne Garand, University of Wisconsin-Madison
TITLE: Molecular structure and properties from cryogenic ion spectroscopy
ABSTRACT: The selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometry make it a powerful analytical tool. However, it is quite difficult to obtain detailed information about molecular structure in mass spectrometry. This talk will present our efforts in enabling the spectroscopic characterization of complex mass-selected ions using laser spectroscopy. Recent applications to the study of peptide ion interactions and the characterization of organic chromophores with unusual electronic structure will be presented.
BIO: Prof. Garand was born in Québec and completed his undergraduate studies at the Université de Sherbrooke. In obtained his Ph.D. in experimental physical chemistry from UC Berkeley in 2010, working under Prof. Daniel Neumark. As a postdoctoral fellow, he worked at Yale University with Prof. Mark Johnson on developing new approaches for ion spectroscopy. He started his independent career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012. His interests are in fundamental spectroscopic studies of molecular ions and in the development of new mass spectrometry instruments with which to pursue these studies.
