Gregory Scholes is the William S. Tod Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University. His affiliations include prior roles at Imperial College London, UC Berkeley, and the University of Toronto. He currently serves as Deputy Editor for the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.
Scholes' research explores ultrafast photophysical processes in complex molecular systems. Key areas include:
- Quantum coherence in photosynthetic light harvesting
- Exciton dynamics in nanomaterials and conjugated polymers
- Photocatalysis for solar fuel generation
- Biocatalytic stereoselective reactions enabled by photoexcitation
Analysis of his recent articles (2015–2022) reveals dominant themes:
- Quantum effects in biological energy transfer
- Design of perovskite nanocrystals and organic LEDs
- Mechanistic studies of photoredox catalysis
- Vibronic coupling in algal antenna complexes
Scholes received the prestigious title of Fellow of the Royal Society (2019) for transformative contributions to photochemistry. His group advances experimental and theoretical tools to probe coherence in condensed-phase systems.
While specific grant details are undisclosed, his lab utilizes ultrafast lasers, cryogenic spectroscopy, and computational modeling. Collaborative projects with international teams address challenges in renewable energy and quantum biology.
Research is conducted within Princeton's Chemistry Department facilities, focusing on nanoscale excitonics and biological light harvesting. Lab resources support advanced optical measurements and molecular synthesis.
