William Kopcha’s Expertise My research focus is on the light-induced dynamics of polymer systems in complex environments - with various amounts and types of solvent and electrolyte. This knowledge can lay the foundation for direct production of solar fuels, i.e., the chemical storage of solar energy, as opposed to battery-based storage. To interrogate these systems, I use a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including steady-state UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, transient absorption spectroscopy, and time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements. My graduate research centered around synthesizing conjugates of porphyrins and fullerenes or endohedral metallofullerenes, examining their energy and charge-transfer rates using steady-state spectroscopies, transient absorption, and fluorescence upconversion spectroscopy, and using computational chemistry to build conceptual models of my systems. Additionally, I have experience in the food and beverage industry (remediation of wastewater from beverage processing plants; beverage processing and anti-microbial support) and teaching (high school physics and chemistry).
