Electroanalytical Chemistry

Allen J. Bard was born in New York City on December 18, 1933 and grew up and attended publicschools there, including the Bronx High School of Science (1948-51). He attended The City College of the College of New York (CCNY)  (B.S., 1955) and Harvard University (M.A., 1956, PhD., 1958). He joined the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) in 1958, and has spent his whole career there. He has been theHackerman-Welch Regents Chair in Chemistry at UT since 1985. He spent a sabbatical in the CNRS labof Jean-Michel Savéant in Paris in 1973 and a semester in 1977 at the California Institute ofTechnology, where he was  a Sherman Mills Fairchild Scholar.He was also a Baker lecturer at Cornell University in the spring of 1987 and the Robert BurnsWoodward visiting professor at Harvard University in 1988. He has worked as mentor and collaboratorwith 75 Ph.D students, 17 M.S. students, 150 postdoctoral associates, and numerous visitingscientists. He has published over 900 peer-reviewed research papers and 75 book chapters and otherpublications, and has received over 23 patents. He has authored three books, Chemical Equilibrium(1966), Electrochemical Methods—Fundamentals and Applications (1980, 2nd Ed., 2001, with L. R.Faulkner), and Integrated Chemical Systems: A Chemical Approach to Nanotechnology (1994). He servedas Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Chemical Society 1982- 2001.Cynthia G. Zoski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at NewMexico State University.  Her research interests include electroanalytical chemistry,ultramicroelectrodes, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), electrocatalysis, and sensorsbased on micro- and nanoelectrode arrays.  Dr. Zoski is the coauthor of  Electrochemical Methods:Instructor’s Solution Manual (with Johna Leddy, Wiley, 2001) and Electrochemical Methods: Student’sSolution Manual (with Johna Leddy, Wiley 2002), editor of the Handbook of Electrochemistry(Elsevier, 2007), and author or co-author of over 60 papers and book chapters. Dr. Zoski receivedthe B.S. (1976) degree from Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, M.Sc. (1979) from TrentUniversity, Canada, and Ph.D. (1985) from Queen’s University, Canada.

"This is volume 27 of a series of advances, started 50 years ago, namely in February 1968. Continuing on the successful line of the previous volumes, the present book focuses on some of the most recent and challenging areas able to open new prospects for the electroanalytical chemistry of the third millennium. This will be an important reference book for all readers interested in understanding where the frontiers of research in this area are moving."- Paolo Ugo, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2018
