Gilbert Nathanson is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison , where he leads the Nathanson Group. His research focuses on gas-liquid interfacial reactions with applications in atmospheric chemistry, combustion, and electron solvation dynamics. Education: B.S., Yale University (1979) Ph.D., Harvard University (1985) His experimental approach combines molecular beam scattering and liquid microjet techniques to study reaction mechanisms at gas-liquid interfaces. Key projects include: Super-Maxwellian helium evaporation from aqueous solutions Reactive uptake of N 2 O 5 in sea spray aerosols Angstrom-scale depth profiling of halide ions using helium ion scattering Surface solvated electron reactions in aqueous environments The group's publication analysis reveals expertise in interfacial reaction dynamics , molecular beam methods , and climate-relevant chemistry . Collaborative efforts with CAICE and international partners (e.g., Flinders University) demonstrate multidisciplinary impact. His laboratory maintains strong funding support from the National Science Foundation , Air Force Office of Scientific Research , and institutional sources. The Nathanson Group has trained numerous graduate students and postdoctoral fellows through rigorous experimental and theoretical training.
