Kirk Research Group
The Kirk Group addresses critical questions in the areas of molecular electronics, electronic structure contributions to molybdoenzyme catalysis, and magnetic multi-spin systems for quantum information science. Our group at UNM is located in the high desert of beautiful Albuquerque, NM. The group employs a a combined spectroscopic approach (MCD, electronic absorption, XAS, time-resolved, EPR, resonance Raman, and emission spectroscopies), EXAFS, chemical synthesis, computational chemistry and theory, and molecular biology to solve these problems that are important to emerging technologies, molecular devices, life-processes and the environment.
