Studies are carried out both in the laboratory, where elementary processes can be isolated, and within natural systems, in which reaction networks and transport patterns are dissected by establishing cause and effect using simultaneous, in situ detection of free radicals, reactive intermediates, and long-lived tracers. Professor Anderson is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Science and Technology Center for Environmentally Responsible Solvents and Processes, and director of the Kenan Center for the Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in Manufacturing. His main areas of research include the application of transport phenomena and colloid and surface science principles to the development of coating, extraction and reaction processes based on carbon dioxide as a solvent, and affinity chromatographic separation processes for biological molecules using ligands derived from combinatorial libraries.

His main research interest is the use of numerical simulation to solve complex chemical problems with a primary focus on the quantitative prediction of molecular behavior. He uses numerical simulation methods to obtain quantitative results for molecular systems of interest to experimental chemists and engineers with a specific focus on the design of new materials and production processes.

Kolb initiated Aerodyne' s programs for the identification and quantification of sources and sinks of trace atmospheric gases and aerosols involved in regional and global pollution problems, as well as the development of spectral sensing techniques to quantify soil pollutants. He has also developed models of aircraft and rocket exhaust plume-wake chemical kinetics, condensation physics, and dispersion processes critical to the systematic assessment of the impact of aerospace systems on the chemical structure of the upper troposphere and stratosphere.

Stern has been actively involved in a variety of research programs relating to the development of novel chemical processes and pharmaceuticals. He was the recipient of the Monsanto Thomas and Hochwalt Science and Technology Award in 1993 for his role in the discovery of the aromatic substitution chemistry used in the development of Monsanto's new process to manufacture 4-aminodiphenylamine (4-ADPA)
