Brief Bio:
Greg Szulczewski grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He discovered a love for Chemistry at De La Salle Collegiate preparatory High School. After completing his formal education in the state of Michigan, he and his wife (Shawna) moved to Austin, Texas. As a post-doctoral associate with the late Prof. J. Mike White, Greg studied photodesorption and photodissociation dynamics of molecules on metal surfaces. In 1997 Greg started his academic career as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Alabama. He is currently on sabbatical at Trinity College in Dublin working with Prof. Mike Coey on organic spintronics. Last but not least Greg is the proud father of two beautiful and intelligent daughters, Natasha and Sophia.
