Zachary Hudson

Zachary Hudson is a Faculty member in the Department of Chemistry at The University of British Columbia. His research focuses on materials science, organic and organometallic synthesis, organic electronics, polymer chemistry, and nanoscience. His group develops new materials for optoelectronics, including energy-efficient displays, fluorescent bioimaging probes, and organic photocatalysts. The work spans organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, polymer science, and nanomaterials. Students in his group learn techniques for air-sensitive chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and nanoscience. The Hudson group collaborates with researchers in chemistry, engineering, and the life sciences to bring discoveries to life in functional devices, fluorescent analyses, and new chemical transformations.

Zachary M. Hudson is a researcher in Polymer and Materials Chemistry, focusing on the development of advanced materials with unique optical and electronic properties. His work explores the synthesis and application of organic and inorganic compounds for optoelectronic devices, photocatalysis, and energy transfer. Hudson's research includes the design of photoredox catalysts, fluorescent micelles, and phosphorescent materials for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). His studies also investigate the photophysical properties of triarylboranes and their role in enhancing phosphorescence and electrophosphorescence efficiency. Through multidimensional self-assembly techniques, he creates hierarchical micelle architectures with potential applications in flexible electronics and biological imaging.
