Gordana Dukovic

Gordana Dukovic is a professor of chemistry and materials science and engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder and a fellow and associate director of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute. Her lab investigates the structure, excited state properties, and light-driven chemistry of nanoscale materials, sometimes paired with enzymes or molecular catalysts, with the goal of paving the way toward sustainable light-driven chemistry. She received a BA from Rochester University in 2001 and a PhD in chemistry from Columbia University in 2006 and was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley. She is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and was named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, a Cottrell Scholar, a Beckman Young Investigator, and a finalist for the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists.
