Page 4 • Lehigh University experimental physical chemistry research, in an innovative experience for Lehigh undergraduates started in summer 2022. Four Lehigh undergraduate students (majoring in chemistry and physics) competed an immersive summer research experience. Building off the skills they learned during the summer, each student has worked during the 2022-2023 academic year in order to complete their research projects on novel indole azo-dye photophysics. At the Fall 2022 National ACS meeting in Chicago, Prof. Fredin organized and chaired an in-person version of the Photochemistry Spotlight! Prof. Fredin gave an invited virtual talk for the Theory and Simulation of Electronic and Optical Processes in Molecules and Materials. In addition, with more conferences being back in person, Prof. Fredin gave invited talks at MARM, American Conference on Theoretical Chemistry (ACTC), Fall 2022 ACS, and NERM. In the fall Prof. Fredin gave invited seminars at U Penn, University of Rochester, University of Delaware, and Binghamton University. Publications: Repa, G. M.†; Fredin, L.

The Glover Lab continues to make progress on the NIH R15 award entitled "Biophysical Studies of Caveolin" which was awarded in 2021. In addition, they welcomed graduate student Jesika DeDonato as part of the research team. Dr. Glover also gave invited talks at Gettysburg College and ACS NERM 2022.
