Marisa C. Buzzeo
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Marisa Buzzeo is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Barnard College and a graduate of the class of 2001. Prior to her faculty position, Buzzeo was a visiting research scientist at Columbia University’s nanocenter and a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology, in the laboratory of Prof. Jacqueline K. Barton (BC ’74). Marisa completed her graduate studies in physical chemistry at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Richard G. Compton. Her research program at Barnard is focused on the use of electrochemical techniques to examine fundamental properties and potential sensing applications of naturally redox-active biological systems.
