 My
name
is Arthur
Reber and I am
a Research
Associate
Professor at
Virginia
Commonwealth
University. My
research
focuses on
developing
conceptual
models that
allow for the
intuitive
understanding
of properties
at the
nanoscale,
especially
metallic
nanoparticles
and clusters.
My goal is to
use
theoretical
and
computational
methods to
develop
organizing
principles
that allow for
the complex
array of
interactions
that occur
at the
nanoscale to
be understood
in a logical
and conceptual
manner. This
work includes
applications
to catalysis,
especially on
particles
supported on
complex
surfaces, and
the
development of
new cluster
assembled
materials, and
magnetic
interactions.
I received my
Ph.D. from the
University of
Chicago in
physical
chemistry and
my advisor was
R. Stephen
Berry, and
followed up
with a postdoc
with Shiv
Khanna at
Virginia
Commonwealth
University.
