Columbia University

Jeffrey Meisner, McNair Scholar

Colin Nuckolls received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1998 and spent two years as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow with the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, before returning to join the Columbia faculty in 2000. Research in the Nuckolls lab seeks to create novel and general methods to assemble and interconnect organic structures into functioning molecular-scale devices useful for energy transport and conversion. Recent publications include “In situ measurements of oligoaniline conductance: Linking electrochemistry and molecular electronics,” (with F. Chen and S. Lindsay), Chemical Physics, (2006) and “Single-Molecule Circuits with Well-Defined Molecular Conductance,” (with L. Venkataraman, J. E. Klare, I. W. Tam, M. S. Hybertsen and M. L. Steigerwald), Nano Letters, (2006).
