Jarrold is supported by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program to perform experiments that systematically probe the interactions between size-selected, catalytically relevant metal clusters and simple organic adsorbates using anion photoelectron spectroscopy. The goals are to determine how metal cluster size, geometry, and electronic structure determine reactivity in these systems. In the educational part of this CAREER award, local high school science teachers will engage in summer research at Jarrold's institution, to develop stronger relationships with university-level scientific material and to learn new teaching tools. The continuity of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum will be examined as well, in order to devise and test concrete curricular guidelines for demographically diverse undergraduate student populations. Understanding chemical catalysis has important ramifications for strategic applications such as the petrochemical industry and environmental protection processes. Outcomes from the supported reseach will impact the development of heterogeneous catalysis. The educational projects will contribute to improving secondary science education in Chicago-area high schools, and contribute to a more coherent and effective undergraduate chemistry curriculum.

Jarrold 在实验物理化学计划的支持下进行实验，利用阴离子光电子能谱系统地探讨尺寸选定的、催化相关的金属簇和简单有机吸附物之间的相互作用。 目标是确定金属簇尺寸、几何形状和电子结构如何决定这些系统中的反应性。 在该职业奖的教育部分，当地高中科学教师将在贾罗德的机构进行暑期研究，以与大学水平的科学材料建立更牢固的关系并学习新的教学工具。 本科化学课程的连续性也将受到审查，以便为人口多样化的本科生群体设计和测试具体的课程指南。了解化学催化对于石化工业和环境保护过程等战略应用具有重要影响。 所支持的研究成果将影响多相催化的发展。 这些教育项目将有助于改善芝加哥地区高中的中等科学教育，并有助于建立更加连贯和有效的本科化学课程。
