亚瑟·J·诺齐克教授为追求太阳能光电转换、光伏和太阳能燃料的科学而奋斗、鼓舞、哄骗和领导了一代科学家。2016年3月25日，一群前同事、同事和朋友聚在一起，表彰诺齐克教授对他们的工作、卓越的科学和生活的贡献。虽然这次活动是对他众多科学贡献的庆祝，但它主要是为了表彰他的领导能力和远见。早在诺齐克教授职业生涯的早期，他就知道自己不仅想要从事高质量的科学研究，还想要追求宏伟的挑战。正如诺齐克教授经常说的那样，仅仅创造出好的科学−是不够的，工作必须是有用的，并为社会提供具体和持久的好处。目前，对科学家来说，没有比提供负担得起和可持续的能源未来更大的挑战了。诺齐克教授的探索使他走上了许多成功的研究道路。他不怕提出新的想法，为有争议的概念辩护，甚至把进展缓慢的研究项目抛在脑后，即使这些项目成果丰硕。我们的目标一直是走在太阳能转换科学的前沿。诺齐克教授的热情进一步体现在他对未来清洁能源事业的坚持和支持，以及对科学家的雇用和指导。他启发和寻找了可持续能源领域的许多顶尖科学家，始终支持确保广泛参与这一挑战的想法和努力。在这里，我们简要概述了诺齐克教授所贡献的许多领域的现状和预测。
Professor Arthur J. Nozik has fought for, inspired, cajoled, and led a generation of scientists in the pursuit of the science of solar photoconversion, photovoltaics, and solar fuels. On March 25th, 2016, a group of former colleagues, co-workers, and friends met to recognize Prof. Nozik’s contribution to their work, excellence in science, and life. While the event was a celebration of his many scientific contributions, it served mostly to honor his leadership and vision.Early in Prof. Nozik’s career he knew that he not only wanted to do high-quality science, he wanted to pursue grand challenges. As often stated by Prof. Nozik, it is not enough to simply produce good science− the work must be useful and provide a concrete and lasting benefit to society. There is no greater challenge for scientists, at this time, than providing an affordable and sustainable energy future. Prof. Nozik’s quest led him to pursue many successful research paths. He is not afraid to propose new ideas, defend controversial concepts, or even leave behind slowly progressing research projects, even if they are being fruitful. The goal has always been to be at the forefront of the science of solar energy conversion. Prof. Nozik’s passion has been further reflected in his insistence on, and support of, employing and mentoring scientists toward the cause of a clean energy future. He has inspired and sought out many of the top scientists in the field of sustainable energy, always supporting ideas and efforts to ensure wide involvement in pursuing the challenge. Here we provide a brief overview of the status and prognosis of the many fields to which Professor Art Nozik has contributed.
