Professional Experience

• 2001-present Assistant Professor: Clemson University
  • Liquid and supercritical-fluid dynamics. Currently researching the mechanistic role of solvent in solution- phase reactions, I have developed the first tractable method to isolate the specific microscopic solvent motions that govern the transmission coefficient in chemical reactions - a significant accomplishment because such solvent motions are invariably collective. My group is also investigating the dynamics of hydrated electrons in polarizable water, the effect of polarizability on fifth-order Raman spectra, and the use of integral equation methods to cheaply predict solubilities and separation constants in supercritical fluids. Computational components of this research are being performed on a local network of inexpensive PCs running Linux and a small Beowulf cluster that we administer in house.
• 1999-2001 Postdoctoral: University of Houston; Advisor: Tony Haymet
  • Integral equation theory of the pH of water and aqueous solutions. We numerically solved structural integral equations for dissolved electrolytes ranging from dilute 1-1 and 2-2 electrolytes in water to molten salts such as KCl. With integral equations we were able to obtain structures in an hour that would have taken weeks using Molecular Dynamics simulations, making thermodynamic computations computationally feasible.
• 1997-99 Postdoctoral: University of California - Davis; Advisor: Susan C. Tucker
  • Studying the dynamical consequences of spatial inhomogeneities in supercritical fluids: vibrational relaxation and diffusion. We computationally predicted a previously-unobserved, but ubiquitous, phenomenon of vibrational inhomogeneities in near-critical supercritical fluids. We decisively explained anomalous spectroscopic results occurring in supercritical fluids near the critical point in terms of clear and compelling physical pictures. This work is now the standard reference in the field.
• 1991-97 Graduate: Brown University; Advisor: Richard M. Stratt
  • Studying the short-time intramolecular dynamics of solutes in liquids via instantaneous normal modes. Development of an exact short-time Generalized Langevin Equation. We developed a new mathematical formalism to give the Generalized Langevin Equation, as applied to solute dynamics, a rigorous and clear microscopic foundation, thereby solving a long-standing mystery in the field. We discovered that vibrational relaxation in dense fluids arises not from poorly-defined "binary collisions" but rather from collective dynamics that influence a single, important, nearby molecule.
• 1990-91 Undergraduate: University of Missouri - Columbia; Advisor: John E. Adams
  • Studying the "melting" of microscopic brass clusters using instantaneous normal modes.
• 1990 NSF REU: University of Southern California; Advisor: Hanna Reisler

Currently attempting to incorporate elements of guided inquiry and collaborative learning into this course.
  • Fall 2002: Introduction to Physical Chemistry 330, ~30 students, course webpage: http://g2.ces.clemson.edu/~grant/chem330/, single-semester Physical Chemistry course primarily taken by bioscience students, comprises thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, kinetics, and spectroscopy. Received above-average to excellent reviews while introducing elements of collaborative learning.
  • Fall 2001: Graduate Thermodynamics 831, ~25 students, course webpage: http://g2.ces.clemson.edu/~grant/chem831/, graduate Thermodyamics course that also incorporated an introduction to statistical mechanics. Received above-average to excellent reviews. I taught enough programming (in Python) in this course for students to write their own Molecular Dynamics simulation to determine the heat capacity of a 1-D atomic crystal.
