Research Interests

Sydor's research is directed primarily at investigating massive holes and ions trapped at solid-state interfaces. One ongoing experiment concerns radiative annihilation of massive holes in RbI by injection of surface electron current. A second experiment is being set up. The aim is to trap hydrogen atoms at an interface and study the effects on the atoms due to large oscillating interfacial electric fields.

He also intends to devote one or two summers to bring himself up to date in remote sensing of large lakes. With his previous experience in remote sensing, he should be able to participate as a co-investigator and advisor in the Large Lakes Observatory program.
