Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Robert H. Coridan's research investigates the structure-property relationships of materials, particularly focusing on nanostructures, metal binding modes, and electrochemical processes. His work involves the application of various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy, to understand material behavior under different conditions.

Coridan has explored gas evolution in water electrolysis, the catalytic properties of covalent organic frameworks for hydrogen evolution, and methods to enhance critical heat flux during pool boiling. He has also studied electrochemical control of dendritic copper surfaces and the development of semi-transparent photoanodes for water oxidation. His research extends to understanding the mechanisms of porous silicon formation through in situ studies.

His scholarly output includes 90 publications with 1,834 citations and an h-index of 18. Coridan has been a principal investigator or co-PI on two federal grants totaling $903,383, one from NSF for quantum dot research and another for acquiring a sputtering-evaporation system for thin film deposition. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Hamed Mehrabi and Samuel K. Conlin.
