Moungi Gabriel Bawendi (Arabic: منجي الباوندي; born 15 March 1961)[citation needed] is a French-American chemist.[1] He is currently the Lester Wolfe Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[2][3][4] Bawendi is one of the original participants in the field of colloidal quantum dot research, as well as among the most cited chemists of the last decade.[5] He became a Clarivate Citation Laureate in 2020. In 2023 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Louis E. Brus and Alexey Ekimov "for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots".

Education and career

Bawendi was born in Paris, France, the son of Tunisian mathematician Mohammed Salah Baouendi and Hélène Baouendi (née Bobard). After periods living in France and Tunisia, Bawendi and his family emigrated to the United States when he was a child.[6]

Bawendi is one of the original participants in the field of colloidal quantum dot research, and among the most cited chemists of the last decade.[7] He became a Clarivate Citation Laureate in 2020. He received his A.B. in 1982 from Harvard University[8] and his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1988 from the University of Chicago working with Karl F. Freed and Takeshi Oka.[9]

Research Group

The Bawendi Research Group[10] is largely focused on the study of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots, with a growing interest in organic fluorophores. Research projects are generally divided into four categories: 1. Spectroscopy, 2. Synthesis, 3. Biology, and 4. Devices. In 1993 the group reported what is currently the most widely used method in quantum dot synthesis, called the rapid injection method.[11] Later research focused extensively on the spectroscopic study of quantum dots,[12] and lasers,[13] while recent progress has addressed many challenges in synthesis,[14] biological application of nanomaterials,[15][16][17] and solar cell research.[18] In addition, Bawendi is interested in the spectroscopy of single quantum dots with single molecule spectroscopy.[19]

Bawendi, along with Louis E. Brus and Alexey Ekimov were leaked as the recipients of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry shortly before an official announcement was due to be made.[20] The chair of the Swedish Academy's Nobel committee for Chemistry said that it was due to a " ... mistake by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences ... no decision has been made yet. The winners have not been selected".[20] As of 11:52 AM Stokholm time, the winners have been confirmed to be the same as the prematurely announced recipients.
