Catherine (Katie) Mauck is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Kenyon College since 2019. Her research has explored how structure affects energetic processes in optoelectronic materials with a variety of techniques, including femtosecond visible and mid-infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence microscopy, and temperature-dependent  absorption and fluorescence. She graduated from Oberlin College in 2009, and worked at QD Vision Inc. for several years as a chemist to make quantum dots for lighting and displays. After a Fulbright fellowship (2011-2012) at the Musee National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, France, she returned to academia and obtained her Ph.D in Chemistry in 2017 from Northwestern University in the lab of Prof. Mike Wasielewski. Before coming to Kenyon, Mauck was a Camille & Henry Dreyfus Environmental Chemistry Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Prof. Will Tisdale at MIT.
