Gabor A. Somorjai (born May 4, 1935) is a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and is a leading researcher in the field of surface chemistry and catalysis, especially the catalytic effects of metal surfaces on gas-phase reactions ("heterogeneous catalysis").
Gabor A. Somorjai (né le 4 mai 1935) est un chimiste américain. Il est professeur de chimie à l' Université de Californie à Berkeley et un chercheur reconnu dans le domaine de la chimie des surfaces et de la catalyse, en particulier les effets catalytiques des surfaces métalliques sur les réactions en phase gazeuse (« catalyse hétérogène »).
Since 1965, Professor Somorjai has proposed, planned, and carried out a program to build the fundamental molecular basis for the surface science of heterogeneous catalysis. He characterized the structure of clean metal single crystal surfaces and determined the structure and bonding of adsorbed molecules, and used them as model catalysts.
Gabor A. Somorjai, Ph.D. Citation For seminal advances in molecular studies of surfaces through the use of single crystals, for the development of techniques for quantitative determinations of surface structure, and for establishing the molecular foundations of heterogeneous metal catalysis.
University Professor of Chemistry Gabor Somorjai has been awarded the 3rd annual BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award.
Gabor A. Somorjai's 586 research works with 54,060 citations and 25,908 reads, including: Ternary NiMo-Bi liquid alloy catalyst for efficient hydrogen production from methane pyrolysis.
Gabor Somorjai is a renowned surface scientist and catalysis expert who emigrated from Hungary to the U.S. in 1956. He has made groundbreaking contributions to the molecular basis of heterogeneous catalysis, nanomaterials science, and polymer surfaces, and has received many prestigious awards and honors.
