Moungi Bawendi

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.[9] Research in the group initially focused exclusively on the spectroscopic study of quantum dots,[10] while recent progress has addressed many challenges in synthesis,[11] biological application of nanomaterials,[12][13] and solar cell research.[14] In addition, Bawendi is interested in the spectroscopy of single quantum dots with single molecule spectroscopy.
