Richard C. Remsing received a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Maryland in 2013. He then held a postdoctoral position in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Rick joined Professor Klein’s research group as a postdoctoral fellow in 2015.

Research Interests

Chemical dynamics, catalysis, and charge transfer in heterogeneous systems, quantum dynamics in condensed phases, self-assembly in nonequilibrium systems, and solvation in liquids, disordered semiconductors, and biomolecular systems
