technologies, distributed nitrogen fixation for fertilizers and fuels, and chemical transformations fundamental to the synthesis of organic molecules. Peters' research studies are mechanistic in nature and include the characterization of highly reactive species that populate open-shell ground spin states amenable to spectroscopic characterization. He collaborates with many talented scientists, including

Peters began as assistant professor in the
Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Caltech in August 1999, was promoted to associate professor in 2004, and to Professor of Chemistry in 2006. In July 2007, he relocated to the MIT Department of Chemistry as the W. M. Keck Professor of Energy.

Peters' laboratory focuses on the synthesis of new inorganic and organometallic species with interesting electronic structure, bonding, and reactivity properties. His laboratory has advanced new concepts for catalysis (including electro- and photocatalysis), with significance to renewable solar fuel
