John C. Gordon
Laboratory Fellow, Los Alamos National Laboratory
John Gordon received his B.Sc. (Hons) in Chemistry in 1985 (University of Glasgow, Scotland) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1990 (University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN). After postdoctoral appointments at the University of Maryland (College Park) and at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Dr. Gordon spent approximately three years in the private sector. In 1999, he returned to LANL as a Technical Staff Member. He has acted in several roles at LANL, including Associate Director of the G. T. Seaborg Institute for Transactinium Science and Group Leader of the Inorganic, Isotope and Actinide Chemistry Group (C-IIAC) within Chemistry Division. John’s scientific interests lie in inorganic and organometallic chemistry as well as in catalysis related to energy applications. His efforts in these areas have been recognized by a LANL Fellows Prize (2011) as well as appointments to the rank of Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2011), Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2014) and Laboratory Fellow at LANL (2014).
Relationship to Alan: Scientific collaborator (published several papers together). Sat on three of Alan’s Ph.D. students’committees. Postdoctoral advisor at LANL for one of Alan’s students (Dr. Kalyan Vasudevan).
