Andrew B. Bocarsly

Andrew B. Bocarsly (born April 23, 1954 in Los Angeles, California) is currently a professor at Princeton University, New Jersey. His primary research interests lie in physical inorganic chemistry. He conducts research in electrochemistry, photochemistry, solids state chemistry, and fuel cells.[1]

Education and career

Bocarsly graduated with a B.S., Magna cum Laude, from University of California, Los Angeles with a double major in chemistry and physics (June 1976). There his research under the guidance of Professor John Gladysz involved 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.

Carbon dioxide

Bocarsly has published in on catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide to organic products.[2] In 2008 Emily [3][4] This interest in artificial photosynthesis led to the establishment of the company Liquid Light ( Liquid Light inc..
