Marisa Buzzeo is a 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.

In The News
Launched in 2014, the innovative and fully funded program has introduced hundreds of young women to mentors in STEM research.
Part 1 of the Summer Stories series: Barnard’s summer programs for pre-college students and current undergraduates create unforgettable experiences on campus and around NYC.
After being mentored by stellar science faculty across the City at Barnard’s Summer Research Institute, 285 students celebrated at one of NYC’s largest gatherings dedicated to young women scientists.
The recent National Science Foundation fellow is the third person in Barnard’s history to become a Gates Cambridge scholar.
This summer, faculty in Barnard’s Chemistry Department were awarded major federal grants that will support them, individually and collaboratively, as they research a variety of topics.
