Dr. Perrine earned her\u00a0B.S in Chemistry from the University of South Carolina (2004) and Ph.D. from the University of Delaware (2011). She was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Irvine (2011-2015) and visiting scientist at the California Institute of Technology as part of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (2014-2015).<\/div>\n
Dr. Perrine has 18+ years of experience in the field of surface science, at the gas\/solid interface and liquid\/vapor interface and in modern surface analysis instruments, including FTIR, AES, XPS, TPD, AFM, and SEM for surface analysis. Her graduate research was focused on semiconductor film growth and using bottom-up surface functionalization. In her postdoc, she worked with different teams to measure the interaction of aqueous solutions of organics, solutes, and ionic solutions at the liquid\/vapor interface, using Liquid-Jet XPS. Dr. Perrine research program is currently focused on interfacial reactions on iron and other earth-abundant materials for understanding environmental and energy processes using a surface catalysis approach.<\/div>\n
