Steven T. Frey

Research

Professor Frey’s research group is interested in clays, both natural and synthetic, as hosts for metal ions, metal complexes, or biological molecules. Application of these composite materials includes catalysis, chemical sensing, optical information storage, and the detoxification of environmental pollutants. Prof. Frey collaborates with numerous undergraduate students on research projects. Students regularly present their research at local and national conferences and have been co-authors on publications. Please see Prof. Frey’s home page for more information.
