I am a graduate student at Stanford University in the Department of Chemistry. My advisers are Professors Edward I. Solomon, Keith O. Hodgson, and Britt Hedman (SSRL), and my project deals with the application of metal L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to heme and non-heme iron inorganic model complexes and proteins.
Most of our L-edge data is collected at beamline 10-1 of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), which is funded by the DOE and the NIH. DFT calculations are run on clusters at Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Specifically, my work has been supported by NIH grants RR-01209 (K.O.H.) and GM 40392 (E.I.S.). SSRL operations are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The SSRL Structural Molecular Biology program is supported by the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources, Biomedical Technology Program and by the Department of Energy, Office of Biological and Environmental Research. The project described was supported by Grant Number 5 P41 RR001209 from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
