American-Tunisian-French chemist (born 1961)
Moungi Bawendi (Arabic :منجي الباوندي ; born 15 March 1961)[ 2] [ 3] American –Tunisian–French chemist .[ 4] [ 5] Lester Wolfe Professor at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology .[ 6] [ 7] quantum dots .[ 8] Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2023.
Moungi Bawendi was born inParis , France, the son of Tunisian mathematicianMohammed Salah Baouendi . After periods living in France andTunisia , Bawendi and his family migrated to the United States when he was a child.[ 9] West Lafayette, Indiana , as Salah worked in the math department atPurdue University .[ 9] West Lafayette Junior-Senior High School in 1978.[ 10] [ 11]
Higher education and career [ edit ] Bawendi received both anA.B. in 1982[ 12] A.M. in 1983 fromHarvard University .[ 13] Ph.D. in chemistry in 1988 from theUniversity of Chicago ,[ 8] Karl Freed andTakeshi Oka .[ 14]
With Freed, Bawendi worked on theoreticalpolymer physics ,[ 15] H3 + , which played a role in deciphering the emission spectrum ofJupiter observed in 1989.[ 16]
During his graduate studies, Oka recommended Bawendi to a summer program inBell Labs , whereLouis E. Brus introduced Bawendi to the research on quantum dots.[ 15] postdoctoral researcher .[ 17]
Bawendi joinedMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1990 and became professor in 1996.[ 17]
Bawendi was one of the most citedchemists of the decade from 2000 to 2010.[ 18] quantum dots .[ 8] semiconducting crystals whose nanoscale size gives them unique optical and electronic properties.[ 19]
A major challenge in quantum dot research was to find ways to create high quality quantum dots that are stable and uniform. Bawendi is recognized for his work in developing standardized methods for quantum dot synthesis. In 1993, Bawendi, and his PhD students David J. Norris andChristopher B. Murray ,[ 20] [ 21] [ 22]
The method opened the door to the development of large-scale technological applications of quantum dots in a wide range of areas.[ 21] [ 22] light-emitting diodes (LEDs),photovoltaics (solar cells),[ 23] photodetectors ,photoconductors , lasers,[ 24] biomedical imaging ,biosensing and other applications.[ 23]
Bawendi was granted theSloan Research Fellowship in 1994.[ 25] American Chemical Society (ACS).[ 26] Sackler Prize in Physical Chemistry of Advanced Materials.[ 27] Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award .[ 28]
He was elected member of theAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003,[ 29] American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004,[ 30] National Academy of Sciences in 2007.[ 31]
In 2010 during the National Meeting on March 23, 2010, Bawendi received theACS Award inColloid andSurface Chemistry .[ 32] [ 26] SEMI Award for North America for quantum dot research.[ 33]
Bawendi was selected as aClarivate Citation Laureate in Chemistry in 2020, jointly withChristopher B. Murray andHyeon Taeghwan , "for synthesis ofnanocrystals with precise attributes for a wide range of applications in physical, biological, and medical systems.".[ 34]
In 2023, Bawendi was awarded theNobel Prize in Chemistry jointly withLouis E. Brus andAlexey Ekimov "for the discovery and synthesis ofquantum dots ".[ 4]
He was also awarded by the Medal of Honor of theTunis University .[ 35]
Bawendi is married tojournalist Rachel Zimmerman, widow of another MIT professor,Seth J. Teller .[ 38]
