Addressing global challenges in reducing energy costs and in developing alternative energy sources is critical to the future.  The research in the Friend group focuses on important catalytic reactions and on making new materials with key chemical functionality by controlling the chemical and physical properties of interfaces.

Professor Cynthia Friend assumed the post of President of the Kavli Foundation on January 1, 2021.
