This Project Grant award, valued at $326,617 and supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), enables a collaborative research effort between Professors Jon Camden at the University of Notre Dame and Lasse Jensen at Pennsylvania State University. The project aims to disentangle the relative contributions of electromagnetic and chemical enhancements in surface-enhanced spectroscopy, a field that has long recognized the importance of chemical effects but lacked a comprehensive understanding. By combining sophisticated experimental and computational approaches, including the use of nonlinear spectroscopy, the researchers seek to develop new theoretical methods for accurately predicting chemical enhancements. This work has the potential to advance the use of surface-enhanced spectroscopy through improved predictive capabilities and the rational design of molecular systems that optimize the spectroscopic response. Additionally, the project will support a STEM teacher residency program and tools for visualizing molecular vibrations in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, fostering the next generation of STEM students.
