Peter de Lijser, Ph.D.
Chemistry and Biochemistry
Education: B.Sc. Van Leeuwenhoek Institute; M.Sc. Leiden University; Ph.D. Dalhousie University; Postdoctoral: University of Rochester

Research Interests: Environmental organic photochemistry: currently studying the structure and reactivity of naturally occurring compounds (drugs, pesticides, dyes) containing a carbon-nitrogen double bond (oximes, oxime ethers, hydrazones, azines) upon photochemical excitation and one-electron oxidation. Specific interests include the generation of reactive species (radicals, radical ions) via surface-catalyzed photochemical reactions (pesticides; environmental) and enzyme-catalyzed oxidations (drugs; toxicology) of model compounds.
