معرفی
Garry Hanan is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Université de Montréal, affiliated with the Faculté des arts et des sciences. His primary research focuses on solar energy conversion, photocatalytic systems, and supramolecular chemistry. He leads the Hanan Research Group, which develops supramolecular photocatalysts for applications in hydrogen production and photovoltaics.
Education
- Ph.D., June 1995, Université Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France)
- D.E.A., June 1991, Université Louis Pasteur
- B.Sc., October 1989, University of Winnipeg, Canada
Research Interests
Hanan's work centers on designing light-harvesting complexes, photocatalytic systems for H₂ evolution, and novel coordination polymers. Key areas include:
- Development of ruthenium- and iridium-based photosensitizers
- Supramolecular assemblies for energy conversion
- Coordination chemistry of transition metals (Ru, Re, Co)
Grant Highlights
Recent projects include:
- First-row transition metal complexes as photosensitizers and catalysts for light-driven hydrogen evolution (CRSNG, 2024-2030)
- Centre Québécois sur les Matériaux Fonctionnels (CQMF) (FRQNT, strategic cluster)
- Equipment grants for NMR spectroscopy and X-ray detectors
Awards
Notable honors include the NSERC Accelerator Grant (2008), Synlett Young Investigator Prize (2000), and Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (1996-97).
Labs & Collaborations
Hanan collaborates with institutions globally, including Kyushu University (Japan) and the University of Messina (Italy). His lab focuses on synthesizing and characterizing materials for artificial photosynthesis and energy storage.
