Dr. Janet
E. Del Bene
Professor Emeritus Physical Chemistry
330-941-3466
e-mail: jedelbene@ysu.edu
WBSH 5048
|
Ph.D.: University of Cincinnati, 1968
Post-doctoral: University of Wisconsin;
Mellon Institute
Research Interests:
Ab Initio quantum chemical studies of hydrogen bonding. Her
recent work has focused on one- and two-bond spin-spin coupling
constants across hydrogen bonds, generalizations concerning the signs
of these coupling constants and their relationship to hydrogen bond
type, and anharmonicity and
matrix effects on the IR spectra of hydrogen-bonded complexes.

Dr. Del Bene is a Fellow
of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, and was granted the first CERFnet Award for
Excellence in Networked Applications in 1991. She recently received a
Two-Year Extension for Special Creativity to her NSF grant, a BBVA
Visiting Fellowship at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and
the triennial National Honorary Member Award for an Outstanding Women
Chemist from Iota Sigma Pi in 2002. She has also been a Visiting
Professor at the University of Sydney, Australia. She delivered
the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Lecture at the University of California San,
Diego and the San Diego Supercomputer Center in March, 2005. In
addition to her research, Dr. Del Bene enjoys photography, music, and
golf.
