Biography
Ivan Aprahamian is currently working as Associate Professor of Chemistry, Dartmouth College, USA. He is interested in in controlling molecular motion and converting it into mechanical work has driven us to the development of new hydrazone-based molecular switches that can be activated either chemically or photochemically. These novel systems are expected to form the basis of various molecular machines and motors.
Research Interest
Molecular switches and machines, Self-assembly, Supramolecular chemistry, Photopharmacology, Solid-state devices
