	Howell, James M. - Head of the Department Professor Ph.D., Cornell University, 1971 jhowell@brooklyn.cuny.edu	Physical: Evaluation of molecular energies, dipole moments and excitation energies using quantum chemistry.
	Jarzecki, Andrzej A. Assistant Professor Ph.D., University of Arkansas, 1997 jarzecki@brooklyn.cuny.edu	Theoretical: Prediction of molecular and spectroscopic properties (UV, Infrared, Raman and resonance Raman) of molecules with a special focus on transition and heavy metal compounds. Various applications of electronic structure calculations to enhance understanding of the structure and function of native metals in proteins and the toxicity of heavy metals. Research interests and computational applications span areas of modern chemistry, biochemistry, geochemistry and environmental science.
	Juszczak, Laura J. Assistant Professor Ph.D., New York University, 1992 ljuzak@brooklyn.cuny.edu	Biophysical: Protein aggregation processes and methods of dissolution; vibrational spectrosopy, including UV resonance Raman and FTIR, isused to probe factors effecting protein oligomerization and aggregation.
	Kobrak, Mark Associate Professor Ph.D., Chicago University 1997 mkobrak@brooklyn.cuny.edu	Theoretical: Quantum and classical dynamics studies of condensed matter processes. Current interest focuses on the properties of room-temperature ionic liquids, with the goal of elucidating structure-property relationships relevant to solvation in ionic liquids. The methodology includes both computer simulation and analytic theory.
