Nanostructured Materials & Nanochemistry

Biography

James L. Gole received the B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara where he was an NSF Research Fellow (1967). He received the Ph. D. from Rice University (1971) where he was a Phillips Research Fellow. He was an NSF Post-Doctoral Fellow at Columbia University from 1971 to 1973. He joined the Department of Chemistry at M. I.T. in 1973 and in 1977 he joined the School of Chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he became Professor of Chemistry in 1981. In 1983 he joined the School of Physics, GIT, where he is currently Professor of Physics. In 2002, he became a joint Professor in Mechanical Engineering. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Dr. Gole is interested in high temperature materials nanosynthesis, the chemical physics of surfaces, porous silicon structures for hybrid nano/microsensors and nanostructure enabled photocatalytic reactors, nanostructured directed sensing, and the IHSAB principle. He holds 27 patents and has published over 300 papers. Dr. Gole has been a recipient of the Sustained Research Award of the Sigma Xi Research Society. He has been named GIT Outstanding Research Author. In 2005, he was named Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor. He was also recipient of the Professional of the Year Award from Worldwide Who’s Who.
