C. Bradley Moore by Stephen R. Leone
“C. Bradley “Brad” Moore was a giant in the field of laser chemistry and spectroscopy. As a beginning assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, he recognized the advantages of newly discovered lasers, especially pulsed lasers, to pioneer previously inaccessible mechanisms of state-resolved processes in molecular energy transfer, photochemistry, and transition state dynamics. During his more than forty years at Berkeley, Brad masterfully guided his research group to highly impactful results in modern state-resolved physical chemistry.”
