Brandi Michelle Cossairt (born June 29, 1984) is an American chemist specializing in synthetic inorganic and materials chemistry. She is the Lloyd E. and Florence M. West Endowed Professor of Chemistry at University of Washington.

Personal life and education

Brandi Cossairt was born and raised in Miami, Florida.[2] She began working in the laboratory of Anthony J. Hynes at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science while still in high school. She is a first-generation college graduate, having obtained her B.S. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 2006. During her undergraduate degree, Cossairt worked with Jonas C. Peters on electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution with a cobaloxime complex.[3] Cossairt then pursued a graduate degree in inorganic chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where, under the mentorship of Christopher C. Cummins, she received her PhD in 2010.[4] Her doctoral work focused on the niobium-mediated synthesis of phosphorus-rich molecules, such as AsP3.[5] [6] [7] [8] Her academic career next took her to New York, where she joined Columbia University as a National Institutes of Health NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow with Jonathan S. Owen between 2010 and 2012.[9]

Research

Cossairt moved to Seattle in 2012 to begin her independent research career as an assistant professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Washington.[10] Cossairt leads a synthetic inorganic chemistry research group working primarily in colloidal nanoscience. Cossairt's team works to prepare new molecular precursors, develop new synthetic methodologies, and explore the details of complex reaction mechanisms.[11] In particular, her team has pioneered new synthetic strategies to access indium phosphide quantum dots. InP quantum dots have emerged as a class of phosphors for wide color gamut displays and energy-efficient solid-state lighting applications.[12] [13]
