Dr. James Canary
Professor of Chemistry
Research summary
Dr. James W. Canary's group consists of interdisciplinary scientists who are interested in the control of the physical properties of materials by noncovalent interactions, stereochemistry, and molecular dynamics. Molecular modeling (including computational and graphical techniques) is used for the rational design of molecules with novel chemical properties. The molecules are then prepared by organic synthesis, and their properties are evaluated using a variety of methods.
