Greg Engel is a leading professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Chicago, specializing in biophysics, physical chemistry, and materials chemistry. His research focuses on excited state reactivity, excitonic transport, and nonradiative relaxation, seeking to understand and manipulate the fundamental components of excited state dynamics. Engel's work employs novel methodologies to explore quantum phenomena in biological systems, particularly in understanding mechanisms of quantum transport in photosynthesis. His lab, the Engel Group, is engaged in developing new spectroscopic techniques to image excited state dynamics. Engel's innovative approaches aim to capture essential aspects of coherent energy transfer and to engineer synthetic materials that exploit quantum dynamics. He has a strong academic background, having obtained his A.B. from Princeton University, an A.M. from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in 2004. Currently, he is also a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and a recognized young scientist by the World Economic Forum.
