Role on REVEALS: 

Co-Investigator

Affiliation: 

University Of Central Florida

Education: 

B.S. in Chemistry, State University of New York
Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry ,University of Utah

Areas of Research: 

My research focuses on the fundamental studies of model catalytic
systems with an emphasis on utilizing recent technological advances
to investigate a more flexible range of materials than typically afforded
via conventional ultra-high-vacuum surface-science technique

Background: 

Dr. Kaden received his B.S. in Chemistry from the State University of New York at Oswego and his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Utah before working as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellow in the Chemical-Physics department at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society. The Spring of 2015 will mark his first full-semester as a faculty member within the Physics Department at UCF.
