Moungi Bawendi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moungi Gabriel Bawendi is an American chemist of French and Tunisian descent.[1] Born in Paris in 1961 to Hélène Baouendi (née Bobard) and Mohammed Salah Baouendi. He is the Lester Wolfe Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2][3][4] Bawendi is one of the original participants in the field of colloidal quantum dot research, and among the most cited chemists of the last decade.[5] He became a Clarivate Citation Laureate in 2020. He received his A.B. in 1982 from Harvard University[6] and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1988 from the University of Chicago working with Karl F. Freed and Takeshi Oka.[7]

Research Group[]

The Bawendi Research Group[8] is largely focused on the study of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots, with a growing interest in organic fluorophores. Research projects are generally divided into four categories: 1. Spectroscopy, 2. Synthesis, 3. Biology, and 4. Devices. In 1993 the group reported what is currently the most widely used method in quantum dot synthesis, called the rapid injection method.[9] Later research focused extensively on the spectroscopic study of quantum dots,[10] and lasers,[11] while recent progress has addressed many challenges in synthesis,[12] biological application of nanomaterials,[13][14][15] and solar cell research.[16] In addition, Bawendi is interested in the spectroscopy of single quantum dots with single molecule spectroscopy.[17]
