Biography

Professor Reid received a B.S. degree from Union University (Jackson, TN) in 1985, and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) in 1990 under the direction of J. Douglas McDonald. His interests in molecular spectroscopy and chemical dynamics led him to the University of Southern California, where he completed post-doctoral training under the direction of Hanna Reisler. He has been at Marquette since 1994. In 1996, he received an Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation Young Investigator award, and was the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 1997. In 2004, he spent a semester at National Tsing Hua University (Hsinchu, Taiwan) as an NSC fellow, working in the group of Professor Yuan-Pern Lee.

Research Fields
Our research is in the general field of laser chemistry, and encompasses a number of areas including:

• Laser spectroscopy of transient molecules and free radicals
• Photodissociation dynamics and photochemistry of molecules and free radicals
• Coherent laser spectroscopy, including four wave mixing and quantum beat spectroscopy
• Photoionization mass spectrometry
• Characterization of pulsed laser ablation and pulsed laser deposition of thin films
• Development and application of spectroscopic instrumentation and methods
