Michael Wasielewski
Dr. Michael R. Wasielewski is a Professor, Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University, and serves as the Director of the Argonne-Northwestern Solar Energy Research (ANSER) Center and as a Senior Scientist at the Center for Nanoscale Materials at the Argonne National Laboratory. He received his BS (1971) and Ph.D. (1975) from the University of Chicago. He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1995, and has held numerous distinguished lectureships and fellowships. He served as Chair of the Chemistry Department at Northwestern from 2001-2004. His recent awards include the 2008 Porter Medal for Photochemistry, the 2006 James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, and the 2004 Photochemistry Research Award of the Inter-American Photochemical Society.
Following his graduate work, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. He then moved to the Argonne National Laboratory, where he was a Senior Scientist and Group Leader of the Molecular Photonics Group. In 1994, he joined the faculty of Northwestern University, where he is currently Professor of Chemistry. His research centers on light-driven charge transfer and transport in molecules and materials, photosynthesis, nanoscale materials for solar energy conversion, spin dynamics of multi-spin molecules, molecular materials for optoelectronics and spintronics, and time-resolved optical and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. His research has resulted in over 330 publications.
