Faculty on Fire

Dr. Sidney Bolden, Jr.

The Florida-Caribbean Louis Stokes Regional Center of Excellence (FL-C LSRCE) is excited to announce that Dr. Sidney Bolden, Jr. was selected as a 2020 Visiting Faculty Participant at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Dr. Bolden is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Bethune-Cookman University, a FL-C LSRCE partner institution. After completing his studies at Florida A&M University and Florida State University, Dr. Bolden accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Pennsylvania. 

FL-C LSRCE is proud to partner with Brookhaven National Laboratory and excited about Dr. Bolden's summer research opportunity to investigate bio-mimetic light harvesting systems and materials to enhance energy transfer efficiency.

The Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) is sponsored and managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to increase the research competitiveness of faculty members and their students at institutions historically underrepresented in the research community in order to expand the workforce vital to the DOE mission areas.  

As part of this competitive program, selected university/college faculty members collaborate with DOE laboratory research staff on a research project of mutual interest. Faculty member participants may invite up to two students (one of which may be a graduate student) to participate in the research project. Visit the Department of Energy's Office of Science page for additional information on the VFP and contact Jhenai Chandler at flclouisstokes@sfcollege.edu for information on how to apply through the FL-C LSRCE.
