Dan Gezelter is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. He is also the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies in the College of Science.

Dan did his undergraduate work at Duke University and then spent a year as a Churchill Scholar doing research in NMR pulse-shaping with Ray Freeman at the University of Cambridge. He received his PhD in chemistry from the UC Berkeley, working with William H. Miller on quantum reactive scattering.  He completed a postdoc in theoretical chemistry at Columbia University, working with Bruce J. Berne. He moved to Notre Dame in 1999.

Dan is also the faculty advisor and a bagpiper for the Notre Dame Bagpipe Band. Other odd, but true facts: Dan played in a band with Ben Folds for a few months in 1987, and is an occasional character in the Sally Forth comic strip.
