American Chemical Society AMA: Hi Reddit! I am Prashant V. Kamat,
Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the University of Notre
Dame. Ask me anything about light energy conversion and more!
Abstract
ACS AMA Hi Reddit, my name is Prashant Kamat, and I am a Rev. John A.
Zahm Professor of Science and a principal scientist at the Radiation
Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. My research group focuses on
multidisciplinary insight into nanostructure architecture and energy
conversion processes, and collaborates with chemists, chemical
engineers, and physicists to study the fundamental science and
applications of light energy. In addition to my research at Notre Dame,
I am also the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of ACS Energy Letters a new
journal from the American Chemical Society publishing papers on all
aspects of energy research (read the first issue and first of 2017
free). Previously I served as the Deputy Editor for the Journal of
Physical Chemistry Letters I am also a fellow of the ACS, the
Electrochemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, and the Indian National Science Academy. I’ll be online at 11am
ET (8am PT, 4pm UTC) to answer your questions. Go ahead, AMA! - PVK
Edit: Signing off now. Thanks for the wonderful discussion. Hope to meet
you at the next ACS meeting or another venue.
