Biography

Gilbert Nathanson is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on molecular beam scattering experiments to understand and control reactions at gas-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces. His work addresses critical questions about the behavior of reactions on surfaces and in pure liquids, solutions, and monolayer films. Nathanson's innovative use of gas-liquid scattering experiments allows for the exploration of the dynamics of collisions and reactions between gas molecules and liquids, including industrially significant substances like crude oils, liquid metals, and salt solutions. He employs highly collimated beams of molecules in a vacuum chamber to conduct detailed studies that provide insight into the interactions occurring at the gas-liquid interface, highlighting the complexities of dissolution and reaction mechanisms. Through his meticulous experimental design, Nathanson aims to construct an intimate understanding of chemical reactions occurring at these interfaces, contributing significant knowledge to the field of physical chemistry.
