Current Position

Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Director, Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory

Education

Ph.D., University of Glasgow, Scotland
B.Sc., University of Glasgow, Scotland

Research Interests

Ionizing radiation pervades our environment and affects all life on earth. The absorption of this impinging energy produces profound chemical and biochemical transformations in the materials irradiated. Prof. Carmichael's research provides a fundamental molecular-level understanding of these radiation effects in matter.
