Eric Arsenault

Eric Arsenault joins the FAS as Assistant Professor of Chemistry. He earned his BA in chemistry and in physics from Wesleyan University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with high honors. He went on to receive his PhD in physical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. At Berkeley, Eric was supported by the Berkeley Fellowship for Graduate Study and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. His doctoral research was recognized at the 22nd International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena, where he received the Best Student Paper Prize. Returning to the East Coast, he was a Junior Fellow in the Simons Society of Fellows and a postdoctoral scientist at Columbia University. Now at Yale, Arsenault's research focuses on the behavior of energy and charge in complex nanoscale environments—from proteins to quantum materials. To access this understanding for applications in advanced-generation optoelectronic and energy conversion platforms, his lab develops and applies ultrafast multidimensional spectroscopies spanning across spectral regimes.
