Greg Scholes is an international leader in the study of how light interacts with complex nanoscale systems. His principle contributions include the elucidation of mechanisms by which the energy of light absorbed by a molecule can be transferred efficiently to other molecules; a process predominant in photosynthetic antenna systems and organic light-emitting diodes.

SCHOLES, Gregory –Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto
Greg Scholes is an international leader in the study of how light interacts with complex nanoscale systems. His principle contributions include the elucidation of mechanisms by which the energy of light absorbed by a molecule can be transferred efficiently to other molecules; a process predominant in photosynthetic antenna systems and organic light-emitting diodes. In other work he has contributed to our comprehension of the basic electronic and optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals, where new viewpoints needed to be elucidated to extrapolate our understanding between molecules and bulk semiconductors.
