His research focuses on new approaches to observe, measure, and control excited state reactivity. His group specifically focuses on excitonic transport, open quantum dynamics, and photochemical reaction dynamics. Engel received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2004; his doctoral work with Prof. James Anderson focused on new techniques for in situ measurement of atmospheric tracers. Engel then moved to UC Berkeley as a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow studying photosynthetic energy transport working with Prof. Graham Fleming. Engel is currently a member of the executive committee of the ACS Biophysics subdivision and the APS Division of Laser science. Engel has been recognized as a Searle Scholar, a PECASE recipient, DARPA Young Faculty Award recipient, AFOSR Young Investigator, DTRA Young Investigator, Dreyfus New Faculty Award recipient, and one of Scientific American’s “2007 SciAm50” top fifty leaders in research. About the Coblentz AwardThe Coblentz Award is presented annually to an outstanding young molecular spectroscopist under the age of 40. This award is the Society’s original award (first awarded in 1964), and is the complement of the 'Craver Award' that recognizes young spectroscopists for efforts in applied analytical vibrational spectroscopy. The candidate must be under the age of 40 on January 1 of the year of the award. The award comprises an honorarium, a plaque with a prism from the periscope of a World War II Navy submarine , and a travel allowance.Nominations Nominations for 2013 must include a detailed description of the nominee’s accomplishments, a curriculum vitae or resume, and minimum of three supporting letters.
