Ralf Ingo Kaiser
Chemistry

Manoa professor of chemistry, Ralf Ingo Kaiser’s research is making progress toward understanding how molecules form in extraterrestrial environments.

The results emerging from his lab are beginning to explain the astro-chemical and astro-biological evolution of the universe, and he has established himself as a leader in this field.

Since arriving at Manoa less than five years ago, he has published 54 articles in international peer-review journals. During this same period Kaiser has brought in more than $4 million in extramural funding.
