Rudolf Burcl
Rudolf Burcl studied physical chemistry at Charles University in Prague, where he earned M.Sc. in 1992 under the direction of Pavel Hobza.  He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Oakland University in 1999 under the direction of Malgorzata M. Szczesniak for theoretical studies of interactions in van der Waals complexes.  After postdoctoral appointments at Michigan State University with Piotr Piecuch and at University of Cambridge with Nicholas C. Handy he joined Marshall University in 2004.  His research interests focus on theoretical studies of structure, properties, and reactivity in variety of chemically interesting systems.  These include studies of effects of entrance channel complexes on reactivity of small molecules with hydroxyl radical; investigation of many-body effects in hydrophobic interactions in methane hydrates; and studies of spectroscopy of diazobenzene-based fluorescent dyes.  For details, please see the research page and list of publications.
