 | John F. Hartwig |
John F. Hartwig, newly designated as the Irénée duPont Professor of Chemistry, focuses his laboratory research on the discovery of new transition metal chemistry and its development into practical, catalytic synthetic methods.
The work of Hartwig and his research team in synthetic and polymer chemistry has broad implications for manufacturing processes and efficiency, the development of pharmaceutical compounds, the petrochemical industry and more. He has been issued eight patents on his discoveries and has written nearly 150 scientific articles and papers about his research. He also authored book chapters for "Modern Animation Methods" and "Modern Arene Chemistry," as well as for a volume of "Handbook of Organopalladium Chemistry for Organic Synthesis."
His scientific contributions have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Thieme-IUPAC Prize in Synthetic Organic Chemistry, the Leo Hendrik Baekeland Award, an A.C. Cope Scholar Award, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, two Union Carbide Innovative Recognition Awards and a Yale Junior Faculty Fellowship, among others.
The Yale professor has been an invited speaker at numerous international conferences and scientific meetings as well as at corporations and college campuses around the world. He has also been honored with a number of named lectureships at U.S., Canadian and European universities. He most recently held the Sasol Lectureship at the University of Ottawa, was the Eli Lilly Lecturer at Colorado State University and presented the Novartis Lectureship Series.
Hartwig earned his undergraduate degree with high honors in chemistry at Princeton University and a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. He was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the Yale faculty in 1992. He teaches courses in organometallic chemistry, general chemistry and inorganic chemistry, among others.
In his laboratory, Hartwig has been an adviser to numerous postdoctoral and Ph.D. students as well as to a host of international visiting students.
