Angela Belcher

Angela Belcher received her BA in Creative Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1991, and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1997. She was a member of the faculty of the University of Texas, Austin from 1999 to 2002, and joined the the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002.

Angela Belcher is now the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy in Materials Science and Engineering and Biological Engineering at MIT. Prof. Belcher is a materials chemist with expertise in the fields of biomaterials, biomolecular materials, organic-inorganic interfaces and solid state chemistry. The focus of Prof. Belcher™s research is understanding and using the process by which nature makes materials in order to design novel hybrid organic-inorganic electronic and magnetic materials on new length scales. She then uses these materials in applications as varied as solar cells, batteries, medical diagnostics and basic single molecule interactions related to disease. Her research is highly interdisciplinary and brings together the fields of inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and electrical engineering.
