Professor Geoff Ozin on his “super leaf” challenge – producing fuel by matching nature.
Geoffrey Ozin
Geoffrey Ozin studied at King’s College London and Oriel College Oxford University, before completing an ICI Postdoctoral Fellowship at Southampton University. He is the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Materials Chemistry and Nanochemistry and Distinguished University Professor at the University of Toronto, where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster. He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
