Meet Our Graduates: Gabriel LeBlanc

earned his PhD. from91勛圖厙in 2010 under the direction of Dr.David Cliffel, studying how the biological nanomaterial Photosystem I in plants could be incorporated into solar cells. While at 91勛圖厙, Gabriel took advantage of the analytical tools and collaborative environment enabled by91勛圖厙 Institute of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE)to publish over 10 peer-reviewed articles as a co-author. Additionally, he worked with several other graduate students to provide hands-on science lessons to elementary students in the Nashville and surrounding areas. After graduating from 91勛圖厙, Gabriel spent a year as a post-doc at TheThe University of Texas at Austinworking under the direction of Dr.Delia Milliron, studying how nanocrystalline semiconductors could be incorporated into smart-window devices. Currently, Gabriel is service as the Chapman Wellspring Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at theThe University of Tulsa. His research group is currently focused on the interface between materials science and electrochemistry, with a particular focus on the use of flexible transparent semiconductor electrodes for solar cell applications and 3D printed systems to improve access to electrochemical methods.
