Professor Thomas A. Moore got his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Texas Tech in 1976. He has been a professor in the ASU Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry since 1976. He is also the director of the ASU Center for Bioenergy & Photosynthesis.
Thomas A. Moore is a Regents’ Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University where he is Director of the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis, Distinguished Sustainability Scientist, GIOS, and a team leader in the DOE Energy Frontiers Research Center, “Center for Bio-Inspired Solar Fuel Production” at ASU. Professor Moore worked under the direction of Professor Pill-Soon Song for the Ph.D. degree from Texas Tech University. He served as President of the American Society for Photobiology in 2004 and received the Senior Research Award from the Society in 2001. Over the period 2005-2007, Professor Moore was awarded a Chaire Internationale de Recherche Blaise Pascal, Région d'Ile de France. He has been awarded a visiting professorship at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, for 2011 and 2012. He has served on several Department of Energy Basic Research Needs Workshops including the DOE Basic Energy Sciences Grand Challenges Committee which produced “Directing Matter and Energy: Five Challenges for Science and the Imagination,” outlining research priorities for the foreseeable future. Professor Moore and his long-time colleagues, Professors Ana Moore and Devens Gust, collaborate on research in artificial photosynthesis which is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles involved in solar-to-fuel energy conversion and thereby the knowledge base necessary for sustainable energy conversion for human use. Their work addresses the design, synthesis and assembly of bio-inspired constructs for solar energy conversion and the design principles for artificial systems to be realized through the techniques of synthetic biology.
