Henry White

Henry S. White is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah.  He received the B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of North Carolina (1978) and the Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of Texas (1983). Following a postdoctoral appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota.  In 1993, he moved to Chemistry at the University of Utah.  Prof. White is an electrochemist, with interests in biological, physical, and materials chemistry.  He and his coworkers have published over 300 peer-reviewed scientific publications and patents in the fields of electro­chemistry, nanomaterials, sensors, and analytical chemistry. Current research interests include organic electrosynthesis, DNA structural analyses using ion channel recordings, electrochemistry in nanometer-wide cells, the formation and stability of nanobubbles, and ion transport in nanopores. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and is the recipient of the Faraday Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Reilley Award of the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry, the Grahame Award of the Electrochemical Society, and the ACS Analytical Division Award in Electrochemistry.
