Caroline Chick Jarrold is a physical chemist who was named the Class of 1948 Herman B Wells Endowed Professor ats at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, in 2018.
She completed her Ph.D. in physical chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley under Daniel M. Neumark.
As a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA, Caroline worked under James R. Heath until she left to join the chemistry faculty at the University of Illinois, Chicago in 1997.
[2] Jarrold serves as a professor, researcher, and chair for the department of chemistry at Indiana University.
[2] Her research utilizes the applications of gas-phase reactivity, mass spectrometry, anion photodetachment spectroscopies, and computational chemistry, and her research focuses on: design an optimization of heterogeneous catalysts with lower operating temperatures, oxidation of volatile organic compounds in atmospheric reaction complexes and exploration of electronic structures that arise in heteronuclear lanthanide complexes.
