Research summary
AI-generated

Maren Pink works in materials and chemical science with a strong focus on determining the three-dimensional structures of molecules and crystals using X-ray diffraction (a technique that reveals how atoms are arranged in a solid). This work appears across many collaborative projects, supporting the synthesis and characterization of new organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. Topics include catalysis, novel main-group compounds (such as phosphorus-based species), and supramolecular chemistry (how molecules assemble and recognize one another).

Publication output was high in the late 2010s (peaking around 2019) and has declined in recent years, averaging about 13 per year over the last five years.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
