Rebekka Klausen is an American chemist who is the Second Decade Society Associate Professor at Johns Hopkins University. Her research considers carbon and silicon-based nanomaterials for optoelectronic devices. She was a finalist for the 2021 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists.
Klausen is from Brookline, Massachusetts. She was an undergraduate student in biochemistry at Boston College. She moved to Harvard University as a graduate student, where she worked under the supervision of Eric Jacobsen and studied asymmetric Pictet–Spengler reactions.[1][2][3] She moved to New York for postdoctoral research, joining the lab of Colin Nuckolls at Columbia University.[1] There, she studied the conductive properties of molecules containing a 1-D chain of silicon atoms,[4] as well as other fluorene-derivatives that can act as molecular wires.[5]
