Victor Henrich

Henrich’s research in the Surface Science Laboratory centers on investigating a variety of properties of solid surfaces, the interaction of surfaces with absorbed atoms and molecules, interfaces between solids, and the properties of complex oxides.

The Laboratory is equipped with a multiple-chamber oxide MBE growth and analysis facility consisting of three UHV chambers connected together by a sample transfer system that permits samples to be moved between the three chambers under UHV.

Jennifer Hirsch

As a researcher, I integrate relational context with other social and personality constructs. Some of my work broadens the conceptualization of what it means to belong by integrating literatures that crosscut psychological perspectives and theories. For instance, the development of close relationships, striving for general approbation, belonging to groups, and having minor social interactions can all influence a sense of belonging as well as interact with one another. Some of my other work emphasizes how relational processes shape people’s emotional worlds via the way emotions serve as powerful signals to the self and to others about one’s needs. The nature of our relationships shape who we express to and what we express which, in turn, shapes that relational bond.
