}}Brandi Michelle Cossairt (born June 29, 1984) is an American chemist.

She is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at University of Washington.

Early life

She was born and raised in Miami, Florida. She began working in the laboratory of Professor Anthony J. Hynes at the University of Miami (Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science) while still in high school.

She is a first-generation college graduate. Cossairt obtained her B.S. in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 2006. After her B.S. in Chemistry, Cossairt pursued a graduate degree in Inorganic Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where under the mentorship of Professor Christopher C. Cummins, she received her PhD in 2010.

Her academic career took her to New York, where she joined Columbia University as a National Institutes of Health NRSA Postdoctoral Fellow between 2010 and 2012.

Cossairt settled in Seattle, where she continued her research and took a position as Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington in July 2012.[1]

Research

Cossairt leads a synthetic inorganic chemistry research group working primarily in colloidal nanoscience.

The research team's main focus is Indium Phosphide (InP) and understanding the mechanisms of its growth and methods to control its photophysics. InP is used in high-power and high-frequency electronics because of its superior electron velocity making it an excellent electrical conductor.[2]

InP quantum dots are a class of phosphors for displays and energy-efficient solid state lighting.[3]

Her aims in the field of nanoscience include:

1) understanding mechanisms (classical and non-classical) of nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanocrystals and

2) understanding what chemical and structural factors are critical for selective energy transduction in semiconductor nanocrystals for application in energy efficient solid state lighting, electricity generation, and fuel formation. The group is best known for understanding the mechanism of InP nucleation and growth and methods to control its photophysics.

Cossairt's team is preparing new molecular precursors, creating new synthetic methodologies and exploring reaction mechanisms.[4]

Recognition

  • 2018 National Fresenius Award (ACS, sponsored by Phi Lambda Upsilon)
  • 2017 Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award (Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation)
  • 2016 NSF CAREER Award (work on nucleation and growth of semiconductor nanocrystals )
  • 2015 Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering (David and Lucile Packard Foundation)
  • 2015 Sloan Research Fellowship (Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)
  • 2015 Seattle AWIS Award for Early Career Achievement

Organizations

  • Associate Editor at the ACS journal (Inorganic Chemistry)
  • Co-founder (along with Jillian Dempsey, UNC Chapel Hill) of the Chemistry Women Mentorship Network, a national network of women in chemistry to provide support, encouragement and mentorship for young women considering continuing their education or pursuing careers in academia[5]
