Expertise
The Dibble Group investigates the chemistry of compounds important for energy and the environment. The current focus is redox chemistry of mercury, particularly in the atmosphere. More broadly, we study the chemistry of the atmosphere, biofuels, and electron beams.
The Dibble group investigates chemistry of the atmosphere, combustion, and irradiation, focusing on atmospheric chemistry. A current focus is atmospheric mercury, but we have long been involved in studying the reaction pathways of organic radicals in the lower atmosphere, in the context of formation of photochemical smog and the global oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere. We have active projects investigating the use of electron beams to generate commodity chemicals from CO2 and combustion chemistry of biofuels.
