John Macklin is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. He obtained his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1968. His research focuses on inorganic chemistry, specifically the spectrometric studies that provide structural information about intermolecularly associated molecules in solution and adsorbed self-assembled interfacial aggregates. In his laboratory, the primary tool for structural characterization is micro-Raman spectrometry, which is generally complemented by ultra-violet visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometric measurements. His ongoing research endeavors include a development of ultra-sensitive chemical sensing capabilities based on micro-Raman spectroelectrochemical indications. Macklin's work aims to discover changes in the Raman spectrum of surface adsorbed substances indicative of expected chemical interactions, with a goal to identify biochemical interactions and environmental contaminants at small concentrations.
