Current Group
Gary F. Moore is an Associate Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University, a scientist in the Biodesign Institute Center for Applied Structural Discovery, a Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute for Sustainability Scholar, and Guest Faculty at Berkeley Lab. His research group has interest in chemistry of building nanoscale materials that are fundamentally interesting and address societal challenges. Moore is a Department of Energy Early Career Awardee, a National Science Foundation CAREER Awardee, and a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awardee. He received his Ph.D. from ASU under Ana L. Moore in 2009 then spent two years as a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Energy Fellow at Yale University working with Gary W. Brudvig and Robert H. Crabtree before starting an independent research career at Berkeley Lab. Professor Moore currently teaches graduate and undergraduate level courses at ASU on photochemical energy conversion and leads the research efforts of the G. F. Moore Research Group. He enjoys coffee, chess, the art of synthetic chemistry, and staying up late at Gordon Conferences.

Ahlea Sofia Reyes is an undergraduate studying Chemical Engineering at Arizona State University. She is interested in environmental chemistry and the role that clean energy has in future technology. Ahlea was part of the Running on Sun Internship which is a program that allowed her to work with our Research Group during the summer of her Junior year in high school. She is continuing her research on synthesizing and analyzing metalloporphyrins. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends and family.
Yegor Zenkov is an undergraduate student at Arizona State University, majoring in Materials Science and Political Science. His research efforts include modeling and simulation of electrochemical systems. He acknowledges Michael Goryll for inspiring him to take up undergraduate research, and the Grand Challenge Scholars Program for sparking his interest in hydrogen fuels. In his spare time, Yegor enjoys machining projects, taking photos, and talking about himself in the third person.
Sylvia Nanyangwe is an international undergraduate student from Zambia majoring in Biochemistry-Medicinal chemistry at Arizona State University. She is a member of Barrett, The Honors College and a recipient of the MasterCard Foundation Scholarship. The MasterCard Foundation Scholarship is an African prestigious scholarship program whose aim is to educate and develop bright yet economically marginalized young people in Africa who have a demonstrated “give-back” ethos and commitment to transform the continent and thus the world as a whole. Sylvia has interest in chemistry and the role it plays in the production of medicine and clean energy. Sylvia is also minoring in criminology and criminal justice. She is fascinated by how the justice system can function to ensure that all people have access to equal opportunities regardless of their social position. She credits her high school chemistry teacher, Mr. Mweemba, for inspiring her initial interest in chemistry and influencing her belief that there is no better life without the application of chemistry.
