Kevork Spartalian, Ph.D.
(Carnegie Mellon University)
Associate Professor of Physics
Background:
Dr. Spartalian's research is primarily in the area of magnetic measurements
on biomolecules and related model complexes containing transition metal
ions. Experimental data collected by Mssbauer spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic
resonance, and magnetic susceptibility measurements are fitted to theoretical
models with specific emphasis on the electronic structure at the metal
site.
Dr. Spartalian has a A.B. degree from Princeton University and M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie-Mellon University.
