Biography

Thomas A. Moore is a Regents Professor in the School of Molecular Science at Arizona State University where he is a founding member of the Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis and a Distinguished Sustainability Scientist in the Julie Ann Wrigely Global Institute of Sustainability. Professor Moore worked under the direction of Professor Pill-Soon Song for the Ph.D. degree from Texas Tech University and was a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Alvin Kwiram at the University of Washington. He served as President of the American Society for Photobiology in 2004 and received the Senior Research Award from the Society in 2001. Over the period 2005-2007, Professor Moore was awarded a Chaire Internationale de Recherche Blaise Pascal, Région d'Ile de France. He has served on several Department of Energy Basic Research Needs Workshops including the DOE Basic Energy Sciences Grand Challenges Committee, which produced “Directing Matter and Energy: Five Challenges for Science and the Imagination,” outlining research priorities for the foreseeable future. Professor Moore and his long-time colleagues, Professors Ana Moore and Devens Gust, collaborate on research in artificial photosynthesis. Their work addresses the design, synthesis and assembly of bio-inspired constructs for solar energy conversion and the design principles for artificial systems to be realized through reengineered photosynthesis and synthetic biology.
