In the Reaction Kinetics Lab, the Mulvihill Group explores the fundamentals of chemically reacting systems.

WHAT WE DO

Our fundamental research on chemical kinetics has applications in numerous areas.

WHO WE ARE

We are a growing group of researchers at Baylor University. We are always on the lookout for new members!
