Winter awarded $460,000 NSF grant for photochemistry research

Arthur Winter, professor of chemistry at Iowa State University, is determined to understand how bonds between molecules can be broken with light. The promise and potential of this research has earned Winter a $460,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant which could help him illuminate important discoveries in the field of photochemistry, the branch of chemistry focused on the chemical effects of light.

The NSF grant also includes funding to engage undergraduate and graduate students in the Winter Lab, located on the Iowa State campus.

The NSF grant will fund Winter’s research and student-engagement efforts until 2024.
