Dutta: interested in the interaction of dissolved gases with ionic liquids and their behavior at interfaces. His broad goal is to use his training in organic synthesis, linear vibrational spectroscopy, two-dimensional vibration spectroscopy, nanowire plasmonic, chemical imaging, fluorescence imaging, and other skills to support the MICHESS mission for sensors.
Riley: Computational studies on interactions between ionic liquid cation/anion pairs and between cations and solutes. Studies involving small molecular adsorption on graphene and boron nitride systems.
