Research Focus:

Dr. Foley is a theoretical physical chemist with an interest in light-matter interactions in nanoscale and molecular systems. Teaching: Dr. Foley loves teaching students about physical chemistry, theory and computation, and nanoscale phenomena. My group participates in a collaborative called the “Enhancing Science Courses by Integrating Python” (ESCIP) Network. We are building a set of interactive and open Jupyter notebooks, and are also hosting a series of regional workshops to build capacities for integrating python programming into Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy courses.
