Congratulations to Professor Thomas Baumgartner on being selected as a 2023 Fellow of the Chemical Institute of Canada (CIC). CIC Fellowship is a senior class of membership that recognizes the merits of members who have made outstanding contributions in chemistry.

Baumgartner is a Canada Research Chair (Tier-1) in Sustainable Organomain Group Materials. His research, focused on the design of novel materials that can be used to lower the anthropogenic carbon footprint, will provide knowledge crucial to the development of essential next-generation technologies for a sustainable future. His program targets several energy-focused topics by addressing the efficient and sustainable use, conversion, and/or storage of energy via advanced synthesis in a bottom-up approach. His research also looks at the design of strongly luminescent species and their application as biomarkers and sensors.
