Bio/Research
Christopher H. Hendon is a computational chemist (think chemistry without the chemicals) and an international expert on the science of coffee. He co-wrote a book on the chemistry of water and coffee with UK coffee purveyor Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood. Together, the two have won national barista championships and transformed the art and science of espresso worldwide. As part of the University of Oregon’s Energy and Sustainable Materials Initiative, Christopher is searching for innovative answers to vexing energy problems and cheaper, greener ways to make batteries, solar cells, and other products. Collaborating with colleagues from across disciplines, he’s looking for ways to create new designer materials and to make manufacturing more sustainable.
Though coffee is not his research focus at the university, Christopher’s obsession with espresso continues, along with his commitment to local roasters and the specialty coffee industry. He also uses coffee as an effective, accessible way to introduce the general public to the impact of science and how the scientific method works.
