A Short Biography:Professor Felker received his B.S. degree in 1979 from Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., and his PhD in 1985 from the California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena, CA. After working as a postdoctoral fellow at CalTech, he joined the faculty at UCLA in 1986. Awards and Honors:Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship ; Union College Fuller Prize ; NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award ; UCLA DuPont Young Faculty Award ; UCLA Herbert Newby McCoy ; Union College CRC Press Chem. Achievement Award ; Coblentz Award for spectroscopy ; American Physical Society Fellow ; Calif. Inst. of Technology IBM Graduate Fellowship Research Interest:The Felker research group is involved in experimental and computational chemical physics, particularly in the areas of molecular spectroscopy and dynamics. The following are of particular interest. The elucidation of intermolecular forces and dynamics from vibrational spectroscopic studies and computer simulations of molecular clusters. The study of the effects of high-intensity optical fields in molecular spectroscopy. The characterization of intramolecular vibrational energy flow in isolated species by novel Raman-spectroscopic methods. And, the study of the properties of organic free radicals by vibrational and vibronic spectroscopies. Detailed Biography:Prof. Felker has been a Faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry since 1986. He came to UCLA after doing Postdoctoral research at CalTech, which followed his PhD studies in Chemical Physics at the same Institution. His college studies in Chemistry were completed at Union College, Schenectady, NY. Dr. Felker was promoted to full professor in 1993 and served from 2001 to 2004 as Vice Chair for Facilities in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Since 2006 he has served as Senior Editor for The Journal of Physical Chemistry. His research entails the study of intermolecular forces and dynamics, intramolecular energy flow, high-field effects in molecular spectroscopy, and the vibrational spectroscopy of free radicals.
