Dr. Geoffrey Ozin

Professor Geoffrey A. Ozin is nominated for his distinguished research in Inorganic and Solid State Chemistry. His pioneering studies of metal atom clusters have led to a much better understanding of their electronic and structural properties, and to practical applications in industrial catalysis. His innovative recent work on High Density Optical Storage devices, based on Intrazeolite Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Superlattices, has attracted world-wide attention. He has published nearly 300 papers, 5 patents, and has been recognized by many awards, including the Mendola Medal (R.I.C.), the Rutherford Memorial Medal of the R.S.C., the Alcan Lectureship (C.I.C.), the Coblentz Award (American Society of Applied Spectroscopy) and the John Bailor Jr. Medal.
