Guest writer Geoffrey Ozin, of the University of Toronto, addresses the difficult problem of reproducing synthesis results in nanochemistry.
Geoffrey Ozin
Professor at the University of Toronto where he currently spearheads the Solar Fuels Cluster.
He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
