Biography:
Bill Connick is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati. He is a physical-inorganic chemist with research interests in inorganic photochemistry, catalysis, and chemical sensing. After earning his undergraduate degree from Williams College in 1988, he studied for two years at the University of Cambridge where he obtained a M.A. degree in chemistry. He began his work in inorganic chemistry investigating the spectroscopy, photophysics, and photochemistry of platinum(II) diimine complexes with Professor Harry Gray at the California Institute of Technology. After earning his Ph.D. in 1997, he took a postdoctoral appointment in the laboratory of Professor Rich Eisenberg at the University of Rochester, where he synthesized and characterized metal complexes for studies of photoinduced electron-transfer reactions. In 1998, he joined the faculty at the University of Cincinnati. He studies light-to-chemical energy conversion and the mechanisms of vapochromic response in new materials. He has received a Beckman Young Investigator Award (2001-2004) from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2002-2007) for his research focused on engineering metal complexes for photoinduced two-electron transfer.
