Blake completed his undergraduate thesis entitled “Computationally Derived Ligand Steric Parameters Reveal Reactivity Correlations Across the Field of Nickel Catalysis” and will be applying for medical schools in the upcoming year. Best of luck Blake!
Eric passed his general examination! Terrific work Eric!
Formylation of Aryl Chlorides via Photocatalytic Generation of Chlorine radicals. Ben, Matt, and Junyi’s work was published in ACIE in collaboration with Celgene. Extraordinary!
Kevin Wu, PhD. Kevin successfully defended his thesis! He will be conducting postdoctoral research at Scrips in the lab of Professor Jin-Quan Yu. Best of luck Kevin! We will miss you in the lab.
Enantioselective Cross-Coupling of Styrenyl Aziridines. Brian and Dennis published their work in collaboration with the Sigman lab on nickel-catalyzed stereoconvergent cross coupling of aziridines. Sensational!
A Festival of Radical Transformations. Ben’s paper was highlighted in an ACS select virtual issue! Hooray!
Dean of Research Innovation Fund. Abby and Ben received the Dean of Research Innovation Funds for new ideas in natural sciences. Congrats Abby and Ben!
Nickel-photoredox catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of meso cyclic anhydrides. Erin’s paper outlining a novel take on enantioselective nickel-photoredox catalysis was accepted to ACIE. Smashing!
#Bulky: Parameterization of phosphine ligands demonstrates enhancement of nickel catalysis via remote steric effects. Kevin’s paper about novel phosphine ligands for nickel catalysis was accepted to Nature Chemistry. Excellent!
BMS Fellowship for Matt. Congratulations to Matt for receiving a BMS fellowship. Awesome!
