Larry R. Dalton

Larry Raymond Dalton (born April 25, 1943 in Belpre , Ohio ) is an American chemist.

Dalton studied at the Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in 1965 and a master's degree in 1966 (when James L. Dye) and in 1971 with Alvin Kwiram at Harvard University in chemistry doctorate , (subject Magnetic resonance, double resonance, and relaxation studies of solid-state organic materials ). In 1971 he became an assistant professor and later an associate professor at Vanderbilt University . From 1977 to 1982 he was a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) (and at the same time had a research professorship at the Medical School of Vanderbilt University since 1977) and from 1982 he was a professor at the University of Southern California (USC) . In 1998 he became a professor at the University of Washington .

At SUNY, he dealt with blood cell proteins and conductive polymers , among other things . At USC he worked on nonlinear optical materials and DNA mutagenesis. He is best known for his research on nonlinear optics and electro-optical materials with polymers. At the University of Washington, he was one of the founders of the Nanotechnology Center.

From 1974 to 1977 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 2011 he received the Linus Pauling Award . In 1996 he received the Tolman Award and in 2003 the ACS Award in the Chemistry of Materials.
