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
at UC
Davis focuses on
the chemistry
and properties
of inorganic
nanomaterials.
His group has
developed methods to assemble metallic, magnetic, and luminescent nanoparticles into freely dispersible pseudo-0, 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional multicomponent nanostructures with useful properties. Examples include nanoscale compasses and magnetic liquid crystals, directional nanoscale light emitters, and chemical sensors. Current research is centered on nanomaterials for solar energy conversion. This includes photocatalysts for water splitting and biofuel conversion, and photoelectrochemical cells for making electricity from light. A collaboration with Prof. Adam Moule in the Department of Chemical Engineering involves nanoparticle-enhanced photovoltaic cells. These project are supported by the National Science Foundation and by the Petroleum Research Fund.
