Theodore Goodson III (born April 5, 1969) is an American chemist who is the Richard Barry Bernstein Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. He studies the non-linear optical properties of novel organic materials. He was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012 and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2021.

Early life and education

Goodson completed his undergraduate studies at Wabash College, a liberal arts college in Indiana. [1] [2] He moved to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln for graduate studies, where he majored in chemistry. His research considered the non-linear optical properties of organic polymers. [3] He worked in both the University of Chicago and University of Oxford as a postdoctoral scholar. [4]

Research and career

In 1998, Goodson joined the faculty at Wayne State University.[ citation needed ] He moved to the University of Michigan as a professor of chemistry in 2004. He demonstrated that ultrafast laser spectroscopy could be used to better understand materials for solar energy. [5] [6] In particular, he was building highly branched macromolecules. Whilst studying these macromolecules, Goodson and his co-worker Guo noticed that a hyperbranched phthalocyanine compound exhibited large and delocalized polarization. [7] When voltages were applied to these phthalocyanines, charge carriers hopped around the structure. These phthalocyanines had high dielectric constants, which indicated that they would be better suited as the dielectric medium inside capacitors.[ citation needed ] In 2010, he became chief science officer for Wolverine Energy Solutions & Technology. The spin-out company uses organic energy storage materials to make capacitors. [5]

Starting in 2006, Goodson published research on entangled two-photon absorption (E2PA). [8] The 2006 paper reported that entangled photons produced through spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) possessed a 1031 times higher excitation rate as compared to the corresponding classical TPA process in a dendrimer material. A subsequent publication reported 10 orders of magnitude enhancement in a variety of small molecules. [9] In addition to these two reports, Goodson has published over 15 letters/articles (not including reviews) claiming to measure and utilize E2PA. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [ excessive citations ] These reports have been disputed by academics. [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [ excessive citations ]
