Biography
Janet Macdonald is an associate professor of chemistry at Vanderbilt University and a member of the Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Her research program focuses on the phase-selective synthesis of nanocrystalline materials, especially preparing non-natural phases of metal chalcogenides. Her group also studies fundamental charge transfer phenomena from semiconductor nanocrystals for solar-to-fuel technologies and photovoltaics, including specialized ligand synthesis to aid charge transfer.
Janet received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from McGill University, followed by a PhD from the University of Alberta in 2008. After postdoctoral research at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, she joined the chemistry faculty at Vanderbilt University in 2011.
