Dr. Jeffrey R. Long

Class of 2024-25

C. Judson King Distinguished Professor
University of California, Berkeley

Known for his pioneering research in developing innovative materials for clean energy and sustainability, Jeffrey R. Long has made a significant impact on the fields of chemistry and materials science.

His current research focuses on the discovery of chemically-selective cooperative adsorption in metal– organic frameworks and its uses in the efficient separation of carbon dioxide from flue gases and air.

Long’s work extends to the development of hydrogen storage materials and advanced porous materials for gas separation and catalysis, which are crucial for sustainable energy solutions.

He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1995.

Long is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Honors include the Eni Award Energy Transition Prize; the Department of Energy Achievement Award for Driving U.S. Competitiveness and Innovations Team; the Miller Research Professorship at UC Berkeley; the Royal Society of Chemistry Ludwig Mond Award; the Department of Energy Frontier Research Centers Ten at Ten Award; the American Chemical Society F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry; the Department of Energy Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program R&D Award for Hydrogen Storage; the Bakar Fellowship at UC Berkeley; the Inorganic Chemistry Lectureship Award; the National Fresenius Award; the National Science Foundation Special Creativity Award; the TR100 Award; the Wilson Prize at Harvard University; the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship; the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award; the Hellman Family Faculty Award; and the Research Corporation Research Innovation Award.

He has authored two book chapters and 402 peer-reviewed articles. Long holds 23 patents.

Long will collaborate with faculty and students in the College of Arts and Sciences.
