Biography

Magnetic fields do not affect chemical systems through thermodynamic and equilibrium processes, but through mass transport and kinetics. Magnetic fields open new reaction pathways to alter rates and product distributions.

Our studies of magnetic field effects on chemical kinetics run from the fundamentals of theory and modeling through experimental demonstration and evaluation of effects in composite materials to implementation in technologies such as fuel cells and batteries.
