معرفی
Zeev Rosenzweig is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). His research focuses on synthesizing luminescent and electronic nanomaterials, particularly replacing toxic or rare materials with benign, earth-abundant alternatives for environmental and health safety. He investigates 2D materials like InSe and MXenes, quantum dots, polymer dots, and rare earth nanocrystals, emphasizing their composition, surface chemistry, and functional properties.
- Key Research Areas: Nanomaterials synthesis, environmental impact reduction, 2D materials, quantum dots, agricultural delivery vectors, art conservation via computational chemistry.
His work includes collaborations with the Bennett laboratory to apply nanomaterials in art conservation and agricultural contexts. Research is funded by the NSF, DOE, and Mellon Foundation.
Recent publications highlight studies on colloidal stabilization of 2D nanomaterials, nanoparticle-liposome interactions, DFT-based art conservation research, and MXene biocompatibility. The lab integrates experimental and computational approaches to address interdisciplinary challenges.
Students and collaborators associated with his lab include Jessica E. Heimann, Laura A. Kesner, Swapnil B. Ambade, and others. He leads the Rosenzweig Group in the Meyerhoff Chemistry Building at UMBC.
