Richard Neil Zare (born November 19, 1939) is a Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University. His professional specialty is physical chemistry. Throughout his career, Zare has made a considerable impact on the field of physical chemistry. He has mentored over 150 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.[1]
Education
Zare earned his B.A. in 1961 and his Ph.D. in 1964 in physical and analytical chemistry at Harvard University under the direction of Dudley Herschbach.
Academic career
Zare is well known for his research in laser chemistry, resulting in a greater understanding of chemical reactions at the molecular level. He has also written a widely used textbook on the topic of angular momentum in quantum systems. He is a member of the editorial advisory boards of several scientific publications, among them Chemistry World, Angewandte Chemie, Central European Journal of Chemistry, "Journal of Separation Sciences" and the "Chinese Journal of Chromatography". [2] [3]
Zare is the author of various academic papers involving the research of the spectroscopy of chemical compounds.[4]
Zare has been involved in astrobiology.[5] [6] He is co-author of a paper forwarding the hypothesis that a meteorite from Mars, ALH84001, contained traces of Martian life.[7] Other researchers have questioned these findings and they remain controversial.
Zare has been involved in public speaking in his home area of Silicon Valley and around the world.[8]
