On Friday January 31, 2025, family, friends, colleagues, and collaborators of Jeff Cameron gathered to spend a few hours reflecting on the research, education, and enthusiasm that Jeff brought to the front range community.

RASEI Fellow Jeff Cameron passed away in the fall of 2024. He was a prolific collaborator among the CU Boulder and NREL communities, bringing a level of enthusiasm and excitement that inspired his students and colleagues. While Jeff’s research focused on the biochemistry of cyanobacteria, his collaborations were wide ranging and varied, including working in advanced mathematics, cinematography, liquid crystals, geology, building materials, and computation. He also brought an artistic eye to his science, working with artists and communicators to help share the amazement he held about the worlds his research was exploring.

Colleagues, current and former students, and family spoke to his collaborative nature, the enthusiasm he brought to teaching and mentoring, and the wonder he felt about his research. He was known as the colleague who would stop you in the corridor and show you videos from his lab over a cup of (good) coffee.

The celebration of his life, his work, and the enthusiasm he brought to his colleagues, gave those he engaged with a chance to share fond stories of their time working with Jeff and reminded the RASEI members of his numerous contributions to research and our community.Ìý
