Eric Borguet, eborguet@temple.edu
Dr. Eric Borguet is the Hazel Tomlinson Professor of Chemistry at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. He was born and spent his formative years in Dublin, Ireland. He attended college in France at the Université de Paris-Sud (XI-Orsay), where he studied chemistry and physics. He traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the USA and obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania in 1993, under the mentorship of Professor Hai-Lung Dai, where he studied adsorption and intermolecular interaction on stepped metal surfaces. His post-doctoral training was completed at Columbia University in the group of Professor Kenneth Eisenthal, using nonlinear optics to investigate spectroscopy and ultrafast dynamics at liquid interfaces. Chemical and physical processes at surfaces and interfaces are the principal focus of his ongoing research program at Temple University. His research activities have resulted in over 170 peer-reviewed publications, in excess of 330 invited talks, and more than 300 contributed presentations.
Eric has mentored 32 graduate students, 24 of whom earned a Ph.D. and went on to post-doctoral fellowships, as well as industrial and academic careers. He has advised over 120 undergraduate researchers, many of whom have continued to graduate studies. His group has welcomed 16 visiting graduate students, as well as 5 sabbatical visiting scholars. He has supervised the training of 17 post-doctoral fellows.
