Dr. Joshua Pak completed his Ph.D. at the University of Oregon with Dr. Michael Haley in 1999. He finished his postdoctoral appointment at University California Irvine with Dr. Ken Shea in 2001. He is now an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Idaho State University.
His current research projects include preparation of novel multinary chalcogenide nano-materials for PV applications and suparmolecular chemistry of optically active organic and organometallic materials.
Dr. John Conboy completed his Ph.D. at the University of Oregon with Dr. Geri Richmond in 1996.
He is now an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah. The Conboy Group is currently pursuing research into the dynamics and structure of lipid membranes, the development of label-free methods for detecting protein and small-molecule adsorption to interfaces, and the application of water-immiscible room temperature ionic liquids for separations using a combination of nonlinear optical spectroscopies in conjunction with biological and electrochemical methods to achieve these objectives.
