Richard Neil Zare (born November 19, 1939, in Cleveland, Ohio) is the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor in Natural Science and a Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University.[6] Throughout his career, Zare has made a considerable impact in physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, particularly through the development of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and the study of chemical reactions at the molecular and nanoscale level.[7] LIF is an extremely sensitive technique with applications ranging from analytical chemistry and molecular biology to astrophysics.[8] One of its applications was the sequencing of the human genome.[9]
Zare is known for his enthusiasm for science and his exploration of new areas of research.[1] He has mentored over 150 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, of whom more than 49 are women or members of minorities.[6] Zare is a strong advocate for women in science,[10] and a fellow of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) as of 2008.[1]
