Biography
Daniel M. Chipman earned a B. S. degree in Chemistry from Iowa State University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin in 1972. He was a Postdoctoral Scholar in Chemistry at the University of California at Santa Barbara (1972-4) and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado (1973-5) and at the University of Iowa (1975-6). He joined the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory in 1976, where he has remained since except for spending a year (1987-8) at the National Science Foundation as Program Officer for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.
Research Interests
Dr. Chipman's research interests are involved with theoretical and computational studies of the chemical effects of ionizing radiation on matter. This involves development and improvement of methods for carrying out electronic structure calculations on molecular systems as well as applying the methods to solve problems of current experimental interest. Recent studies have focused on characterizing the low-lying electronic excited states of liquid water and of free radical solutes such as hydroxyl in water. This work is funded by the U. S. Department of Energy to provide fundamental information on chemical processes of importance to the mission of developing improved energy sources for the nation.
