Dr. Andrew Bocarsly's research interests lie in the general field of physical inorganic chemistry, with emphasis on the chemistry of excited state and charge transfer processes and the chemistry of surfaces. These interests have resulted in his research focusing on electrochemistry, photochemistry, solid state chemistry, and fuel cells.

Andy has ongoing collaborations with other faculty in the department, as well as in the chemical engineering department.

There are three active projects (CO₂ Reduction, Fuel Cells, and Cyanogels) on which graduate and undergraduate students currently work. Additionally, there are also a handful of projects which have lost the students' immediate attention, but remain available areas for new students to investigate. Most notably, these include trimer, porous silicon, and nickel ferricyanide; but for a more complete list, please see the publications that have come out of the group. New ideas and new collaborations are always up for consideration.
