Frank Osterloh was educated at the Carl von
Ossietzky Universitat in Oldenburg, Germany and graduated with B.S., M.S., and
Ph.D. degrees in chemistry. After postdoctoral work (1997-2000) at Harvard
University under the supervision of Prof. Richard H. Holm, he joined the faculty
in Chemistry at the University of California at Davis as an Assistant Professor
in 2000 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2006.
Dr.
Osterloh's research interests at UC Davis center on the chemistry and
properties of inorganic nanomaterials. His group has developed a nanoparticle
cluster assembly approach that allows assembly of metallic, magnetic, and
luminescent particles into freely dispersible pseudo-0, 1-, 2-, and
3-dimensional multicomponent nanostructures with useful properties. Examples
include nanoscale compasses and magnetic liquid crystals, uni- and bidirectional
nanoscale light emitters (for displays, microlasers, and as optical probes), and
chemically responsive nanostructures that detect alkane thiols. The group also
discovered that LiMo3Se3 nanowire films respond to
chemical vapors with changes of their electrical conductivity. Currently, the group is
developing chemical and biochemical sensors based on LiMo3Se3
nanowires. An additional project involves the design and synthesis of
nanoparticle-based structures as catalysts for artificial photosynthesis.
