Welcome to Bekka Klausen!
We are very pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Rebekka (Bekka) Klausen as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Bekka received her Ph.D. from Harvard University under Eric N. Jacobsen and is currently completing her postdoctoral studies with Colin Nuckolls at Columbia. Bekka’s research interests are in the general area of materials chemistry and synthetic chemistry with applications in electronics and photonics. Bekka’s research will examine novel organosilicon nanowires and clusters, boron nitride heterocycles, and catalytic methods. These materials will be interrogated using spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques with an eye towards applications in solar energy conversion and molecular electronics.
