- Education
- Postdoctoral Fellow, California Institute of Technology (2006–2009)
- D.Phil., University of Oxford (2006)
- M.S., University of Sydney (2003)
- B.S., University of Sydney (2002)
The Hazari Group develops homogeneous transition metal catalysts for CO2 conversion into fuels and chemicals, hybrid photoelectrodes combining molecular catalysts with semiconductors, and mechanistic studies of hydride transfer and Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reactions. Recent publications highlight work on CO2 hydrogenation, pincer ligands, and homogeneous reductants.
Scientific honors include the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, NSF CAREER Award, and the American Chemical Society Harry Gray Award. He has also received multiple teaching awards, including the Dylan Hixon Prize and Wasserman Prize at Yale.
The group collaborates with researchers at Yale, University of Missouri, and within the DOE-funded CHASE hub, utilizing techniques like multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography, and computational chemistry to bridge mechanistic understanding and catalyst design.
