Michael D. Fayer
Michael David Fayer (born September 12, 1947 in Los Angeles , California ) is an American chemist who specializes in laser spectroscopy and chemical physics .
Fayer studied chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley , where he received his bachelor's degree in 1969. In 1974 he was at Charles Bonner Harris with the theme Coherence in excited triplet states of molecular crystals doctorate was. He was then an assistant professor at Stanford University , where he received a full professorship in 1983. Fayer is a pioneer in the development and application of ultra-fast non-linear laser spectroscopy techniques such as photon echoes, vibratory echoes and transient grating spectroscopy (TG). He studied complex molecular systems, for example in biology and materials science.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society , the National Academy of Sciences , the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1999), and the American Chemical Society . In 2012 he received the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize for Laser Physics for fundamental contributions to laser physics in the development of ultra-fast nonlinear spectroscopy and multidimensional vibrational spectroscopy . He has also received the Ellis R. Lippincott Award, the E. Bright Wilson Award for Spectroscopy, and the Earle K. Plyler Prize for Molecular Spectroscopy. For 2021, Fayer was awarded the Peter Debye Award .
