Mark DelloStritto received a Ph.D. in Physics from the Pennsylvania State University in 2017, for research on the link between the structure and dynamics of water and nonlinear optical spectra at oxide-water interfaces under Professor Jorge Sofo.  He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Michael Klein’s group.

Research Interests

  • Approximate methods for describing electronic response, e.g. polarizability, and their application to spectroscopy.
  • The structure and vibrational dyanamics of water at heterogeneous interfaces and confined systems.
  • The adsorption and dissocation of water at interfaces.
