C. Clifton Chancey
Professor and Head
e-mail: c.chancey@uni.edu
Dr. Chancey is interested
in several areas of physics: atomic and molecular theory, biophysical
modeling and neuroscience, mathematical physics, and geophysical modeling.
His most recent atomic and molecular research centered on explaining
the electronic and vibrational structure of Buckminsterfullerene,
the soccerball-shaped molecule C60. He has studied the physics of
sand movement in sand dunes and the electrical and physical processes
involved in neural transmission. Much of his present research is directed
toward providing a theory for sodium channel gating in excitable cells
like neurons.
