Julianne Gibbs-Davis is a Professor in the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, specializing in Chemistry. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University and a PhD from Northwestern University. Her research focuses on molecular recognition and the study of buried solid/liquid interfaces in various systems. Gibbs-Davis employs innovative techniques, including second harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation (SFG), to probe interfacial binding and characterize the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters that govern these processes. This research is notable for its implications in the development of biosensors that involve noncovalent interactions in confined environments. In addition to her research, she also teaches courses such as CHEM 351, which introduces students to chemical strategies used to analyze and manipulate biochemical systems, covering topics like chemical synthesis of biopolymers and enzyme-inhibitor kinetics.
