Research Profile
Professor Cynthia Friend is a Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science at Harvard University. She obtained a B.S. degree in chemistry at the University of California at Davis, and continued her studies to obtain a Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley. She then did her postdoctoral work at Stanford University, and shortly after began at Harvard University.
The research
in the Friend group is motivated by an interest in several
technologies, including heterogeneous catalysis, nanostructure growth,
environmental chemistry, laser-assisted materials processing, and
chemical sensor technology.
