Biography

Dan Bizzotto is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on the study of electrochemical processes at electrode surfaces, utilizing advanced in-situ spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Bizzotto's work encompasses the development of electrochemical sensors, with particular attention to the characterization of molecular films adsorbed onto electrode surfaces. He employs methodologies like voltammetry, impedance, and fluorescence to investigate the electrocatalytic properties of various materials, including platinum and its alloys. His ongoing projects include innovative studies of modified electrode surfaces using in-situ fluorescence microscopy, which aims to enhance the understanding of adsorbed molecular layers and their implications for biosensor design. In 2015, he received the Prix Jacques Tacussel from the International Society of Electrochemistry, reflecting his contributions to the field. His previous education includes a B.Sc. from the University of Calgary, a Ph.D. from the University of Guelph, and postdoctoral work at Plymouth Marine Laboratories and the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin.
