Faculty Profile
Name: Philip Neuhoff
Homepage: http://plaza.ufl.edu/neuhoff
Research Interests:
Mineralogy; mineral-water interaction; thermodynamics; calorimetry; geomimetics

Current Running Projects:
Physical Science - Physical chemistry of mineral-fluid-gas interactio
We explore fundamental chemical processes controlling the evolution of the earth's surface and upper crust. Current research projects involve experimental and geological sample-based studies of thermodynamic properties and chemical phase relations, thermodynamic properties, and reaction rates. Students can obtain training in laboratory studies of reactions between minerals and aqueous solutions, calorimetric measurements of thermodynamic properties, and petrographic and chemical analysis of geological samples.

Requirements: Introductory geology and mineralogy helpful; freshman chemistry required. Dedication and commitment a must.
