Adam Rieth, PhD

Adam Rieth, PhD has a wealth of experience in research and development. From 2011 to 2014, they served as a Research Assistant at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. From 2012 to 2014, they worked as a Chemist at RTI International, where they developed nanostructured dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells as part of the UNC-Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC). During this time, they also formulated new materials for nanostructured dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells and conducted electrochemical characterization of water electrocatalysts and conductive oxide nanomaterials. From 2014 to 2019, they were a Graduate Student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where they received their PhD in Inorganic Chemistry. During this time, they were also an NSF ICORPS Principal Investigator, Martin Family Fellowship for Sustainability, MIT Energy Initiative Fellow, and Tata Center for Technology and Design Fellow. Adam wrote grant proposals and managed progress reports, and created new polymeric metal-organic framework materials for water capture. From 2019 to 2022, they served as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Harvard University, where they developed two independent project ideas and led teams from initial reactions to manuscript publication. Adam also mentored graduate students and wrote grant applications. Currently, they are an R&D Electrochemical Scientist at Boston Metal.

Adam Rieth, PhD has an education history that includes a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Inorganic Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2014 to 2019, a Management course from the MIT Sloan School of Management from 2014 to 2016, and a BS with Distinction in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2008 to 2012.
