The awards will enable them to spend up to one year cooperating on a long-term research project with specialist colleagues at a research institution in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, the Charles F. Houghton Professor of Chemistry, will work with Christian M\u00fcller, a professor of chemistry at the Free University of Berlin, for six months beginning in January. Jones is interested in using rigid molecular frameworks to hold a metal atom in a precise conformation to enable specific types of dehydrogenation catalysis. M\u00fcller\u2019s work in this area will allow the exploration of new classes of pincer chemistry for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang, the M. Parker Givens Professor of Optics, will work with Hartmut Roskos, a professor of physics at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. Roskos, like Zhang, is an expert in terahertz physics and technology. Zhang plans to visit several other German research groups to discuss topics related to terahertz waves, nonlinear optics, and imaging.<\/p>\n<p><a
