Sean C. Marguet

Sean C. Marguet's research focuses on designing metal-containing molecules and modified proteins that can capture light energy and use it to produce hydrogen gas, a potential clean fuel. This work combines chemistry techniques like crystal structure analysis and spectroscopy to understand how metals such as nickel and copper help drive these energy-conversion reactions, often using modified natural proteins (like rubredoxin) as simplified stand-ins for more complex enzymes found in nature.

Publication output was concentrated between 2017 and 2021, with a notable spike in 2021, but has slowed markedly since then with minimal output in recent years.
