Guillermo Carlos Bazan is a Canadian chemist, material scientist, and academic.
Bazan earned a B.Sc with Honors in chemistry from the University of Ottawa in 1986, and a Ph.D in Inorganic Chemistry from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991. From 1992 to 1998 he was on the faculty of the University of Rochester. In 1998 he was appointed as a professor in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department and the Materials Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Bazan has over 500 publications, an h-index of 91, and his work has been recognized by the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award of the American Chemical Society (2007)[1] and the Bessel Award of the Humboldt Foundation.[2] He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[3]
