Ana Moore

Ana L. Moore is a Reagents’ Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences and the Center for Bioenergy & Photosynthesis at Arizona State University. With her colleagues Devens Gust and Tom Moore, she has led a team of students and postdoctoral associates to design and build bio-inspired molecular systems, which contributed to the development of the field known as artificial photosynthesis. Her goals include using synthetic systems to better understand key light-driven and catalytic aspects of photosynthesis and developing the design principles upon which energy-converting artificial systems could be based. Recently, she and Tom Moore are interested in designing systems in which the redox potential of a PCET process can be controlled and either electrochemically or photochemically initiates proton conduction over long distances.
