Dor Ben-Amotz studies the molecular structure and behavior of water, especially how water molecules arrange themselves around dissolved ions, hydrophobic (water-repelling) surfaces, and other solutes. Using techniques like Raman and infrared spectroscopy, this work probes water's hydrogen-bonding network, hydration shells, and interfacial phenomena, with implications for chemistry, biophysics, and even food science applications.
