George Christou

George Christou is a British-American chemist, currently the Drago and Distinguished Professor at the University of Florida, previously the Earl Blough Professor at the Indiana University. His current interests are bioinorganic chemistry, materials and nanoscale magnets, and supramolecular and cluster chemistry.[1][2] He was the pioneer of the field of single-molecule magnets and is a significant figure in inorganic chemistry, with multiple papers each cited over 100 times and an H index of 88.[3] He was awarded an Honorary Professorship at London Centre for Nanotechnology.[4]

Education

He earned his PhD degree in organic chemistry from Exeter University. He was the NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University and Harvard University working with Prof. Richard H. Holm.
