Rotational Spectroscopy Group
Cadence presented at an environmental science colloquium discussing overall instrumentation and application for future works.
“L-Shaped FTMW Spectrometer With Narrowband And Broadband Capabilities Integrated With A Python Interface” – Cadence Miller, (G)
Cadence got to visit Valladolid, Spain for an engaging conference focused on uplifting graduate and post-graduate students as they share research in physical chemistry and physics. Congrats Cadence!
Cadence Miller, Varga Marton, Rusiru PH Rajapaksha, Dr. Ranil M. Gurusinghe. Custom Python Code for Data Acquisition for TN Tech’s New FTMW Cavity Spectrometer. XVI Conference of Young Researchers in Atomic and Molecular Physics. February 26th, 2025.
Visiting professor Dan M. Neumark, the Chancellor’s Professor of Chemistry at UC Berkely’s College of Chemistry, presented two lectures as a part of the Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions that TN Tech received last year. There was also an accompanying mini symposium for chemistry students to present current research. We were all thrilled to have met him and to discuss research with another physical chemist!
