William H. Coldren

This researcher works at the intersection of physical organic chemistry and computational chemistry, studying short-lived reactive molecules using ultrafast laser spectroscopy and computer simulations. Past projects have also included computer-aided drug design, such as screening potential COVID-19 drug candidates and studying antidotes for nerve agent exposure. The work combines experimental techniques that track chemical reactions on extremely fast timescales with molecular modeling to understand reaction mechanisms.

Publication output was concentrated in a single high-output year (2018) followed by a much slower, irregular pace of about one paper every year or two through 2026.
