Current Group
Gary F. Moore is an Associate Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University, a scientist at the Biodesign Institute Center for Applied Structural Discovery, a Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute for Sustainability Scholar, and a Guest Faculty at Berkeley Lab. His research group has interests in the chemistry of building nanoscale materials that are fundamentally interesting and address societal challenges. Moore is a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) Awardee, a Department of Energy Early Career Awardee, a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awardee, and a National Science Foundation CAREER 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, the art of synthetic chemistry, and staying up late at Gordon Conferences.
