Tom Gennett - Sabbatical Visitor
Dr. Thomas Gennett is a Professor of Chemistry and a member of the graduate faculty of the Materials Science and Engineering Dept. at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He is co-founder and was director (2001–03) of the highly successful NanoPower Research Laboratory at RIT. Since 1998, Dr. Gennett has had a strong collaboration with the Nanostructured Materials Group at NREL, being an onsite visiting Senior Scientist from 1998–2001 and 2003–present. His research has focused on using pulsed laser vaporization to produce high-purity single-wall nanotubes, quantum dots, and other nanoscale materials and has made significant advances in the purification and derivatization of the carbon-based nanostructured materials.
