Richard Neil Zare (born November 19, 1939, in Cleveland, Ohio) is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science and a Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University.[6] Throughout his career, Zare has made a considerable impact in physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, particularly through the development of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and the study of chemical reactions at the molecular and nanoscale level.[7] LIF is an extremely sensitive technique with applications ranging from analytical chemistry and molecular biology to astrophysics.[8] One of its applications was the sequencing of the human genome.[9]
Zare is known for his enthusiasm for science and his exploration of new areas of research.[1] He has mentored over 150 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, of whom more than 49 are women or members of minorities.[6] Zare is a strong advocate for women in science,[10] and a fellow of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) as of 2008.[1]
Education
Zare earned his BA in chemistry and physics in 1961 and his PhD in 1964 in physical and analytical chemistry at
Career
Zare joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor in 1965. From 1966 to 1969, he was jointly appointed in the departments of chemistry, physics and astrophysics at JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder. In 1969 he became a full professor in the department of chemistry at Columbia University.[12][13] He was named the Higgins Professor of Natural Science at Columbia in 1975.[8]
In 1977 Zare accepted a position as a full professor of chemistry at Stanford University, becoming the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science in 1987. He served as chair of the chemistry department from 2005 to 2011.[5]
Zare served on the National Science Board (NSB) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) from 1990 to 1996, and was the board's chair from 1994 to 1996.[1]
He was a founding co-editor of the Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry from 2008–2012.[14][15]
He is a member of the editorial advisory boards of other scientific publications, among them
Research
Zare is well known for his research in
He and his students have developed tools and techniques to examine chemical reactions at the molecular and nanoscale levels. They have explored a wide-ranging variety of problems in physical chemistry and chemical analysis including examination of heterogeneous structures in mineral samples, the contents of cells and subcellular compartments, and the chemical analysis of liquid samples.[5]Early in his career, the question of whether laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) could be used to study
"I'm right now very excited about mass spectrometry, still excited about lasers, all types of [analytical techniques], but to me, they're tools. They're not ends in themselves... With new tools and measurement techniques, you can make advances in all types of fundamental problems." Richard Zare[7]
Zare has also worked with NASA and others on
Publications
Zare has published several books, including a widely used textbook on the topic of angular momentum in quantum systems that is considered a classic for its explanations of angular momentum algebra and the fundamentals of molecular spectroscopy.[1] He is an author or co-author of more than 1,000 peer-reviewed papers.[37]
