VITA
RICHARD ALAN PALMER
Richard Alan Palmer was born November 13, 1935 in Austin, Texas, where he lived until 1957. He received the Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin in June, 1957, after which he entered on three years active duty in the U.S. Navy. In September of 1960 he entered graduate school at the University of Illinois and was a University Fellow during 1960-61 and 1961-62. During 1962-63 he was a Socony-Mobil Fellow and during 1963-64, the recipient of the August Kochs Fellowship. His dissertation research, under the late T. S. Piper, was in the area of stereochemistry and electronic spectra of transition metal compounds. He completed his graduate work in 1964 (Ph.D., 1965) and remained at Illinois an additional year as a postdoctoral fellow. In 1965-66 he was an NIH postdoctoral fellow working in the laboratory of C. J. Ballhausen at the University of Copenhagen. In September, 1966 he joined the faculty of the Chemistry Department of Duke University as Assistant Professor. In 1971 he was promoted to Associate Professor and in 1978 to Professor. He served as Director of Graduate Studies in Chemistry from 1979 to 1982 and has been Director of the Chemistry for Executives program since 1992. While on Sabbatical leaves, he has held visiting appointments at the University of Texas, Austin (1974), The University of Virginia (1981), Ecole Superieure de Physique et de Chimie, Paris (1981 and 1989), Los Alamos National Laboratory (1997), Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (2002) and Albert Ludwigs Universitet, Freiburg (2002). He is a year 2000 recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Senior Research Award.
He serves on the National Council of the American Chemical Society and has served on the Editorial Board of Applied Spectroscopy. He served as Chair and Host of AIRS II in 1996 and on the Program Committee of the FACSS Meeting in 1998, 1999 and 2000. He was Chair of the Steering Committee for First International Conference on Advanced Vibrational Spectroscopy, ICAVS I, in Turku, Finland, July, 2001. He is a member of The Society for Applied Spectroscopy, The Coblentz Society, The Society of Sigma Xi, Phi Lambda Upsilon, and Phi Beta Kappa.
His research interests are in the fields of infrared, visible and UV spectroscopy and the structure of coordination compounds, polymers and liquid crystals. Current research projects include work in the following areas: Time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the microsecond to picosecond regime of transient photo-excited states in transition metal compounds and bio-molecules, dynamic infrared opto-rheology of organic polymers, infrared photoacoustic spectral depth profiling, dynamic infrared study of electro-reorientation of liquid crystals, development of new techniques of infrared spectral imaging and the use of synchrotron radiation for time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and imaging.
He teaches in the graduate and undergraduate programs at Duke; Inorganic Chemistry, General Chemistry and Spectroscopic Applications of Group Theory. He has supervised over 40 PhD and Masters research students, as well as over 30 undergraduate independent study students—and counting.
He is the coauthor (with W. E. Hatfield of "Problems in Structural Inorganic Chemistry," W. A. Benjamin, 1971, and of over 140 research publications: (See attached).
