Andrew Bruce Bocarsly (born April 23, 1954) is currently a professor at Princeton University, New Jersey. His primary research interests lie in physical inorganic chemistry.[1] He conducts research in electrochemistry, photochemistry, solids state chemistry, and fuel cells, and is known for his work on alternate energy solutions involving processes and materials for photo-reduction and electro-reduction.[2] [3] [4]

Education and career

Bocarsly graduated with a B.S., magna cum laude, from the University of California, Los Angeles with a double major in chemistry and physics (June 1976). There he worked with John Gladysz on research involving metal vapor synthesis. In June 1980 he received his PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research on charge transfer processes on semiconductors. Starting in 1980, he was assistant and associate professor at Princeton University where he is currently full professor. Bocarsly currently teaches the second course of the introductory General Chem sequence at Princeton. [5]

Carbon dioxide

Bocarsly's publications include around 200 refereed journal papers, multiple patents,[6] [7] and the edited book Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Storage (2011).[8] Bocarsly has published on catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide to organic products.[9] [10] [11] With Emily Barton Cole, he has worked on the selective conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol.[12] [13] [14] [15] This interest in artificial photosynthesis led to the founding of the company Liquid Light in 2009.[12] [16] [17] [18] [19]

Awards

Bocarsly has been recognized with the following awards.[3] [20]
