Adam J. Rieth is a postdoctoral scholar in the Nocera group at Harvard University. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in his hometown. He then earned his Ph.D. in the laboratory of Prof. Mircea Dincă at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he designed metal-organic frameworks for water harvesting. For the past year in the Nocera group, he has investigated the mechanisms and kinetics of photochemical processes that activate strong bonds.

Daniel G. Nocera is the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University. He created the field of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) at a mechanistic level with the first kinetics measurements and theory of PCET. From this platform, he invented the Artificial Leaf and Bionic Leaf for the solar-driven fixation of carbon dioxide from air in the form of biomass and liquid fuels at energy efficiencies that are 10× greater than natural photosynthesis. He has since elaborated the Bionic Leaf for the solar-driven fixation of nitrogen from air for distributed and carbon-negative ammonia (and fertilizer) synthesis.

Adam J. Rieth是哈佛大学Nocera小组的博士后学者。他在故乡北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校完成了本科学习。然后，他获得了博士学位。在麻省理工学院MirceaDincă教授的实验室中，他设计了用于水收集的金属有机框架。在Nocera小组的过去一年中，他研究了激活强键的光化学过程的机理和动力学。

Daniel G. Nocera是哈佛大学Patterson Rockwood能源教授。他用第一批动力学测量和PCET理论在机械水平上创建了质子耦合电子转移（PCET）领域。在这个平台上，他发明了人造叶子和仿生叶子，用于以太阳能驱动固定空气中生物质和液体燃料形式的二氧化碳，其能量效率比自然光合作用高10倍。此后，他精心制作了“仿生叶子”，用于太阳能驱动的空气中固氮作用，用于分布式和碳负性氨（和肥料）的合成。
