Rate My Professor Tim Dransfield

Dransfield's research interests blend computational chemistry with gas-phase kinetics and mechanistic studies, utilizing infrared spectroscopy to identify gas-phase and aerosol species. His scholarly contributions include several peer-reviewed publications in prominent journals such as the Journal of Physical Chemistry A. Key works encompass 'Experimental evidence for the pressure dependence of the reaction rate constant between acetic acid and hydroxyl radicals' with Y.-W. Huang and J.G. Anderson (2010), 'Rate Constants of Nine C6–C9 Alkanes with OH from 230 to 379 K: Chemical Tracers for [OH]' with M.M. Sprengnether and others (2009), 'Experimental Study of the Kinetics of the Reaction of Acetic Acid with Hydroxyl Radicals from 255 to 355 K' with Y.-W. Huang and others (2009), and 'On the mechanism for nitrate formation via the peroxy radical plus NO reaction' with J.Y. Zhang and N.M. Donahue (2004). He also co-edited the comprehensive volume Green Chemistry: An Inclusive Approach with Béla Török (Elsevier, 2018), providing a broad overview of green chemistry principles and applications. Dransfield's publications have garnered over 428 citations as per Google Scholar, reflecting his impact in atmospheric and computational chemistry fields. He has presented research findings through contributed posters at conferences, including the International Conference on Chemical Kinetics and American Chemical Society national meetings.
