Dr.
Paige joined Southwest Sciences in 1992. From 1990-1991, he was a postdoctoral
research associate with the Atmospheric Aerosol Group at Lawrence Berkeley
Laboratory. His research experience includes development of novel mass spectrometry
methods for mixture analysis, ultrafast laser spectroscopy of liquid phase
molecular dynamics and laboratory studies of heterogeneous atmospheric chemistry
using ion chromatography. His interests also include energy transfer, photochemistry
and nonlinear optics. Currently, Dr. Paige is investigating environmental
applications for diode lasers.
Dr. Paige's accomplishments include 1) the study of NO2 chemistry in laboratory clouds using ion chromatography, 2) picosecond transient absorption measurements of geminately recombining I2 dynamics as a function of solvent composition, density and temperature, 3) the design and construction of a 7000 atmosphere pressure system for optical absorption studies, 4) the discovery of intermolecular electronic-to-vibrational energy transfer between I2 and C-H solvent vibrational modes and 5) the development and demonstration of a new experimental method to test the validity of gas phase vibrational relaxation models in condensed phases.
Dr. Paige is an author of 7 publications and has 1 patent pending. mpaige@swsciences.com
