معرفی
Brandi Cossairt is the Lloyd E. and Florence M. West Endowed Professor of Chemistry at the University of Washington, part of the College of Arts & Sciences. Her research focuses on developing colloidal nanocrystals for applications in quantum light technologies, leveraging principles from molecular inorganic chemistry. She earned her B.S. from the California Institute of Technology (2006) and Ph.D. from MIT (2010), followed by postdoctoral work at Columbia University.
Her research interests span nanocrystal synthesis, quantum information science, and energy applications. She leads the Cossairt Lab, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to nanomaterials and collaborates with NSF and DOE centers like the Molecular Engineering Materials Center (MEM·C) and the Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD).
Awarded prestigious fellowships including the Packard and Sloan Research Fellowships, she also co-founded the Chemistry Women Mentorship Network (ChemWMN) to support women in academia. Though currently not accepting new graduate students, her lab fosters a collaborative environment prioritizing open communication and ambitious scientific inquiry.
