معرفی
Thomas Vogt is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina, affiliated with the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences and adjunct faculty in the Department of Chemical Engineering. He holds the Educational Foundation Distinguished Professorship and has served as Director of the NanoCenter. His research focuses on crystallography, inorganic catalysis, chemical physics, and materials science, with specialties in metal oxide synthesis, neutron/x-ray diffraction, and high-pressure chemistry.
Education: Diploma in Chemistry from the University of Tübingen (1985), Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Tübingen (1987). Awards include Fellowships from the AAAS, APS, and Neutron Scattering Society of America, along with the Carolina Trustee Professorship.
Key research projects include: 1) Pressure-induced gas insertion in zeolites for CO₂ sequestration, 2) Development of novel phosphors for LED lighting, and 3) High-resolution STEM imaging of complex oxides for catalytic site analysis. His work combines experimental techniques (HAADF-STEM, neutron diffraction) with computational modeling to study materials at atomic scales.
- Lab: GSRC 529
- Collaborators: Douglas Blom (USC), Douglas Buttrey (University of Delaware)
Publications span over 30 years, with recent emphases on pressure-driven material transformations, oxyfluoride phosphors, and structural analysis of catalytic bronzes. His research impacts fields from energy storage to environmental remediation.
