Jennifer Ann Hollingsworth is a scientist and laboratory fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).^[1]

Education

Hollingsworth received a B.A. in chemistry from Grinnell College in 1992 and a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis in 1999.^[1]

Career and research

Hollingsworth is known for her contributions to the field of semiconductor core/shell quantum dots (QDs).^[2]^[3] Hollingsworth’s breakthrough discovery of “giant” QDs eliminated for the first time the problematic photophysical phenomenon of “blinking” (interruptions in light emission that represent a significant drawback for standard QDs).^[4] Her work is exemplary of multidisciplinary materials research, spanning materials chemistry and physics and involving the design and elucidation of nanocrystals intentionally engineered for new functionality and the development of novel synthetic methods for their preparation. She was awarded an APS Fellowship in 2018 for discovering and developing non-blinking 'giant' QDs.
