Allen J. Bard
Allen Joseph Bard ( born December 18, 1933, New York City ) is an American chemist who mainly deals with electrochemistry.
Bard attended from 1948 to 1951, the Bronx High School of Science, studied at City College of New York ( BA 1955) and Harvard University, where in 1956 he took his master's degree and doctorate in 1958. From 1958 he was at the University of Texas at Austin, where he remained for the rest of his career as a professor. Since 1985, he was there Hackerman -Welch Regents Professor. In 1973 he was a visiting scientist in Paris in the laboratory of Jean -Michel Saveant and 1977 at Caltech and 1988 Visiting Professor at Harvard.
Bard developed the Scanning Electrochemical Microscope, provides the chemical images of surfaces and applications in chemical nanotechnology and medicine, such as images of transport routes of chemicals on the skin surface, detection of cancer cells or lithorgraphische pattern formation on surfaces.
He supervised 70 PhD students and published over 800 scientific papers (2010). He also holds 23 patents.
1982 to 2001 he was editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. In 2002 he received the Priestley Medal in 2008 and the Wolf Prize in Chemistry. For 2011 him the National Medal of Science was awarded the 2014 Enrico Fermi Award. Bard is also together with Martin Stratmann editor of a elfbändigen Encyclopedia of Electrochemistry, published by Wiley -VCH.
