Nivaldo Tro is a Professor of Chemistry at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, where he has been a faculty member since 1990. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University for work on developing and using optical techniques to study the adsorption and desorption of molecules to and from surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. He then went on to the University of California at Berkeley, where he did postdoctoral research on ultrafast reaction dynamics in solution. Since coming to Westmont, Professor Tro has been awarded grants from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund, from Research Corporation, and from the National Science Foundation to study the dynamics of various processes occurring in thin adlayer films adsorbed on dielectric surfaces. He has been honoured as Westmont’s outstanding teacher of the year three times and has also received the college’s outstanding researcher of the year award. Professor Tro lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, Ann, and their four children, Michael, Ali, Kyle, and Kaden. In his leisure time, Professor Tro enjoys mountain biking, surfing, reading to his children, and being outdoors with his family.

Travis Fridgen is currently a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. His research group studies the energetics, reactions, and structures of solvated gaseous ion complexes composed of metal ions and biologically relevant molecules such as DNA bases, amino acids, and peptides, using a combination of mass spectrometrometry, tunable infrared lasers, and computational chemistry. Their research is aimed at answering fundamental questions such as why is K+ associated with guanine quadruplexes such as telomeric DNA. He graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) in chemistry and a B.Ed. from Queen’s University. His Ph.D. in physical chemistry is from Queen’s University, where he studied ion and neutral spectroscopy in a cryogenic matrix environment. During his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo, he first began conducting research using mass spectrometric methods. During a brief period as an assistant professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, he initiated a collaboration, with a group of researchers in Franch, to spectroscopically determine structures of gas phase protonbound dimer ions. He teaches courses in physical chemistry, but he has mostly taught first-year chemistry courses (at Trent, Waterloo, Laurier, and Memorial). He lives in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, with his wife, Lisa, and four children, Cailyn, Carter, Colton, and Chloe. They are all avid fans of the Ottawa Senators and enjoy busy, active lives that include outdoor activities, such as shovelling snow (good old Newfoundland).
