Professor Bazan obtained his B.Sc. (Honors) from the University of Ottawa and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the advisement of Professor Richard R. Schrock. After working at the California Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral fellow with advisor Professor John E. Bercaw, he started his academic career at the University of Rochester in 1992. In 1998, Gui became a Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A year later he joined the faculty of the Department of Materials (Engineering) and in June 2000, he became the Director of the Center for Polymers and Organic Solids. In 2020, he joined the National University of Singapore as the Provost’s Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He also holds appointments at the Department of Pharmacology in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE), and the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM). In 2024 he became the Director of the Institute for Digital Molecular Analytics and Science (IDMxS) based at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
