معرفی
Jon Camden is a Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Notre Dame, specializing in plasmonic nanostructures and their applications in spectroscopy and energy conversion. His research focuses on molecule-plasmon couplings, surface-enhanced nonlinear spectroscopy, and plasmon-driven catalysis.
- Education: Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University (2005), B.S. in Chemistry and Music from Notre Dame (2000).
The Camden group investigates how plasmonic energy flows at nanoparticle interfaces, develops portable SERS-based analytical methods, and studies plasmon-enhanced catalysis for solar-to-chemical conversions. They utilize advanced techniques like electron energy loss spectroscopy to visualize plasmon fields.
Recent publications highlight innovations in N-heterocyclic carbene monolayers, gold nanorod functionalization, and energy transfer dynamics in 2D materials. Awards include AAAS Fellowship (2022), the Rev. Joyce Award for Undergraduate Teaching (2020), and NSF CAREER funding (2012).
