位置
Dr. “K”是一位来自新斯科舍省野外的物理有机化学家, but has made her home in Maine and at UNE since 2008. A two-time recipient of the Debra J. Summers Memorial Award for Teaching Excellence, 她主要教授有机化学课程，即使在上午8点的讲座中，她也对所有正规澳门赌场网络O-Chem的事情都非常兴奋. Dr. K教授让本科生参与她的研究项目，利用有机化学来了解纳米技术应用的新材料的特性, 并热衷于将绿色化学纳入本科课程和学生活动, 在2018年率先通过了绿色化学承诺. 她与美国化学会(ACS)密切合作，作为ACS本科课程咨询委员会的成员, 担任ACS获奖的UNE学生分会的指导老师, 并担任缅因州ACS本地部分(MEACS)的学生团体协调员.
Dr. Keirstead is also the Associate Dean of the College of 艺术与科学. 在这个角色中, she works to support student academic success, oversees undergraduate research activities in CAS, and liaises with partner offices such as CAS 实习, 学术顾问, Undergraduate 招生, Student Access Center, and Student Affairs. Please reach out to Dr. Keirstead了解更多正规澳门赌场网络的项目和学生的机会(包括研究), to discuss your pathways to success as a student, or with any general questions.

研究
目前的研究
目前，正规澳门赌场网络Keirstead研究小组正在调查三个项目. 每个项目都采用光化学探针反应，以了解更多正规澳门赌场网络离子液体的物理化学性质. 离子液体(ILs)被认为是化学过程中传统溶剂的“绿色”替代品，可以用于纳米技术设备.
1)利用光- fries反应定量离子液体笼效应.
The goal of this project is to learn more about the "cage effect" of ILs, or how ILs "restrict" species within a solvent cage. 较大的笼效应会降低使用IL作为电解液的光伏电池的效率, or could influence the product distribution of a chemical reaction.
2)利用发射光谱法研究离子液体中螺吡喃类化合物的光致变色性.
目的:探讨溶剂作为分子器件溶剂的可行性, we are examining the dynamics of spiropyran photochromism in ILs. 螺吡喃是一类光致变色的“开关”分子开关，可用作分子电子器件. 我们已经使用发射光谱来表明，与分子溶剂相比，ILs中的开关动力学减慢了, due to the unique properties of ILs. 具体地说, 我们的系统可以作为一个健壮的双色(红和蓝)发射分子开关.
3)研究离子液体介质对筒仓光致发光的影响(与Jerry Mullin, UNE和汉克·特雷西, 超声电机).
硅孔是一类取代的硅环戊二烯分子，被认为具有传感器和发光光电器件的应用, e.g., oled. 硅孔溶解在有机溶剂中时，荧光量子产率通常较低, but their emission increases when in a viscous or polar medium. 在这个项目中, 我们正在研究ILs的独特性质如何影响筒仓的光致发光, 反过来, more about the physicochemical properties of ILs.
