Nate Neale is a Senior Scientist and the Interfacial Materials Chemistry Group Manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). He is also a Fellow of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute and a Member of the American Chemical Society, Division of Inorganic Chemistry. He received his Bachelor’s degree in chemistry with a political science minor from Middlebury College in 1998 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2003. From 2003 to 2006, he completed his postdoctoral research at NREL focused on dye-sensitized solar cells. His research leverages his molecular chemistry background and focuses on developing novel wet chemical and gas-phase approaches to tailor the compositional structure and surface chemistry of nanostructured inorganic semiconductors and related materials for photocatalysis, solar fuels, and electrochemical energy storage.
