Thomas J Mills

Thomas J. Mills

T.J. passed away in a tragic accident in March 2015, during the last year of his
graduate studies and months before he planned to graduate. He was awarded
his Ph.D. posthumously for his breakthrough research on the theory of photoelectrochemical
water splitting systems. T.J. joined the Boettcher lab after finishing his undergraduate degree
at the University of Oregon in chemistry where he did undergraduate research with Prof. Mark Lonergan.
T.J. took great pride in the quality and rigor of his research. He was insightful and thoughtful.
He was kind and truly enjoyed working with and helping others in the research group. 
His intelligence was breathtaking. He was also a talented musician. He is sorely missed and
will be remembered fondly by everyone in the Boettcher lab and all those who knew him.
