Craig E. Barnes

Professor Emeritus

Dr. Barnes received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Harvey Mudd College in 1977; he earned a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Stanford University in 1982. He then undertook postdoctoral work in chemistry at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. In 1984, Dr. Barnes joined the faculty at the University of Tennessee.

Education

B.S., Harvey Mudd College (1977)
Ph.D., Stanford University (1982)

Research

The overall theme of my research program is to identify and explore the properties of new, highly engineered inorganic materials.  Among the areas of application are heterogeneous catalysis and the development of new porous materials as sensors and sorbents.  Students in my research program will develop expertise in three different disciplines:  synthetic inorganic chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis and materials science.  Current research projects include the development of selective oxidation catalysts, polymerization catalysts, immobilized nanoparticle catalysts and the properties of porous sorbents.  In addition to becoming familiar with the foundations of inorganic and catalysis science, members of my group gain experience in the manipulation and characterization of air sensitive materials, the spectroscopic characterization of materials (solution and solid state NMR, IR, UV/Vis, ESR, X-ray spectroscopy) and characterizing the properties and reactivity of new catalytic materials.

Awards

NATO Postdoctoral Fellow
Alexander von Humboldt Fellow
