Jacqueline Friskey is an honors chemistry major at the University of Pennsylvania. She conducts research under the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Earth & Environmental Science. More specifically, she has conducted astrochemistry research with Dr. Joseph S. Francisco for the past two and a half years. Jacqueline characterizes the stability, thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and photochemistry of new phosphorous and aluminum bearing molecules relevant to Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars via high-level ab initio quantum chemistry methods to drive laboratory and observational detection. She proposes plausible mechanisms, such as photodissociation or reactive collision, to explain these molecules' formation and characterize their reaction intermediates. Her summer research on the spectroscopic properties of the astrochemical molecules [Al, O, Si]x (x=0, +1) was funded by the 2021 Velay Women’s Science Research Fellowship and the University of Pennsylvania Department of Chemistry’s 2021 Joel Barrish Summer Research Fellowship. During the Summer 2020, she was the recipient of the University of Pennsylvania Department of Chemistry’s 2020 Summer Research Fellowship. Jacqueline's manuscript "Astrochemical significance and spectroscopy of tetratomic [H,P,S,O]" showcases the results of her summer 2020 research and was published in Astronomy and Astrophysics this March 2022.
