Curator's Coffee with Marty Kirk, Solar Component Lead

Light and technological materials work together to produce alternative energy and lighting. Join Dr. Kirk as he discusses research on how the new field of molecular spintronics impacts solar energy, organic lighting, and understanding molecular electronic systems at the nanoscale. Dr. Martin Kirk is Professor of Chemistry at UNM. His research focuses on the fundamentals of electronic structure. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. This Curator's Coffee is co-sponsored by EPSCoR which is partnering with the NMMNHS to bring researchers and their work to the public.
