Armand Paul Alivisatos (born November 12, 1959 in Chicago ) is an American chemist at the University of California, Berkeley .

Life

Alivisatos lived in Chicago until he was ten, when his family moved to Athens , where he also graduated from high school. Alivisatos moved back to the United States to study. He earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1981 and a Ph.D. in 1986 from Charles Harris at the University of California, Berkeley . in physical chemistry . As a postdoctoral fellow , he worked with Louis Brus at AT&T Bell Laboratories . In 1988 he received a professorship at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is today (as of 2020) Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science and Professor of Nanotechnology . He is part of the senior technical staff at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory .

Thomson Reuters counts Alivisatos with 93 original papers , which have been cited over 14,000 times , at number 5 on its list of "Top Chemists 2000–2010". Since 2013 Thomson Reuters has counted him among the favorites for a Nobel Prize (Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates, now Clarivate Citation Laureates ) due to the number of his citations . According to Google Scholar, Alivisatos has an h-index of 170 and, according to the Scopus database, an h-index of 152 (as of June 2020).

Act

Alivisatos is considered a pioneer in the field of physical chemistry of semiconducting nanocrystals . He is concerned with the structural, thermodynamic, optical and electrical properties of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals. He was able to develop synthesis procedures for size control and establish the first applications of these new materials. His discovery of the Quantum Dots led to the manufacture of high definition screens that are now available worldwide.
