Seogjoo J. Jang is a Professor of Chemistry at Queens College of the City University of New York (CUNY), and is a doctoral faculty member of both the Chemistry and Physics PhD programs at the Graduate Center of CUNY. He obtained his BS (1989) and MS (1993) degrees in Chemistry from Seoul National University, and a Ph.D. degree (1999) in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. He then worked as a postdoctoral associate at MIT (1999-2002) and as a Goldhaber Distinguished Fellow (2003-2005) at Brookhaven National Laboratory before starting his faculty position at Queens College, CUNY in 2005. His research expertise is in quantum dynamics theories and computational modeling. In particular, he has pioneered modern theories of resonance energy transfer that are now being incorporated into theoretical analyses of experimental data on complex molecular systems and has made key contributions to understanding the role of delocalized excitons in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2009) and the Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award (2010).
