Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Robert H. Coridan's research focuses on materials science, particularly the study of nanostructures and their applications in energy conversion and catalysis. He has investigated gas evolution in water electrolysis, the catalytic properties of covalent organic frameworks for hydrogen evolution, and the mechanisms behind porous silicon formation using in situ X-ray diffraction. His work also includes the development of photoelectrochemical water oxidation using novel oxynitride photoanodes and the electrochemical control of copper surface morphology for enhanced properties.

Coridan has received federal funding for his research, including a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant as co-PI for studying structure-optielectronic property relationships in quantum dots and another NSF grant as PI for acquiring a sputtering-evaporation system for thin film deposition. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 18, 1,957 total citations, and 89 publications. He actively collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Samuel K. Conlin and Hamed Mehrabi, with whom he shares numerous publications.
