Biography

Dennis Hore is a Professor at the University of Victoria, specializing in Chemical and Biophysical Chemistry. He holds a Bachelor of Science from McMaster University and a PhD from Queen's University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oregon. His expertise encompasses nonlinear optics and vibrational spectroscopy, with a strong focus on surface interactions in materials science. His research group is dedicated to solving structural problems in biophysical chemistry by elucidating the structure of membranes and adsorbed proteins, ultimately aiming to understand how polymer surface structures evolve from their bulk counterparts. Hore is also interested in the characterization of substrate surfaces and adsorbates to identify molecular-level interactions that influence the structures of biomolecules. In teaching, he emphasizes general, physical, and analytical chemistry while promoting computer programming, laboratory automation, and data analysis.
