Biography

Jeffrey R. Long is the C. Judson King Endowed Chair in Chemical Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his B.A. from Cornell University in 1991 and earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1995. Long's research interests focus on inorganic materials chemistry, including the design and synthesis of novel inorganic materials and molecules that explore new physical phenomena. His work delves into areas such as gas storage, molecular separations, and catalysis using porous materials. Long's laboratory is known for its emphasis on metal-organic frameworks, which have applications in gas separation and energy-efficient processes. He has received numerous awards throughout his career, including the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award and the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. Long has also been recognized for his contributions to molecular magnetism, particularly in the design of single-molecule magnets that operate at higher temperatures than previously achievable. His innovative approach combines fundamental understanding with practical applications in environmental technology and energy management.
