Faculty (Inorganic)

Professor of Chemistry

Researchers in the Brutchey group focus on developing new methods of inorganic material synthesis to address challenges related to catalysis, energy storage and conversion, and sustainability.

Gabilan Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Researchers in the Fieser group are interested in the design of molecular catalysts for the polymerization of degradable polymers and/or the depolymerization of commercial, non-degradable polymers.

Assistant Professor of Chemistry

We design and study single-molecule devices and self-assembled monolayers, applying electrochemical and scanning probe microscope-based methods to address fundamental questions in energy storage, catalysis, and electron transfer/transport.

Associate Professor of Chemistry

We are interested in the development of novel catalytic systems for efficient solar-to-fuel technologies. Inspired by biological systems, we design molecular catalysts that involve hydrogen bonding networks capable of small molecule activation through multiple proton and electron transfers.

University Professor, Ray R. Irani Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corporation Chair in Chemistry and Professor of Chemistry – Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering

We are interested in the optical and electronic properties of molecular materials, with an eye toward materials used to create organic LEDs, solar cells, and catalysts for solar fuels.

Professor of Chemistry

We are interested in studies of organometallics and catalysis and are applying them in projects ranging from designing new catalytic systems for synthetic fuels and fine chemicals to reclaiming value from waste polymers and materials.
