About professor Daniel Nocera

Professor Nocera is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading researchers in renewable energy. His group has pioneered studies of the basic mechanisms of energy conversion in biology and chemistry. The group has recently succeeded in developing a solar fuels process that uses many of the elements of photosynthesis. Professor Nocera has now translated this science into ‘the artificial leaf’. This discovery sets the stage for a storage mechanism for the distributed deployment of solar energy.
