Meet our Invited Speakers:
Prof. Dr. OLIVER REISER obtained his PhD in 1989 at the university of Hamburg working on New Synthetic Stratgies toward Polycyclic Aromatic Π-Systems and their Metal ComplexeswithParallel and Orthogonal constrained Subunitsin the group of Prof. Dr. A. de Meijere. He spent 2.5 years as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. R. Miller, IBM Research Center, San Jose, USA and with Prof. Dr. D. A. Evans, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA. In 1992 he moved to the Universitat Gottingen as assistant professor working in the field of stereoselective synthesis and catalysis taking under special consideration the application of high pressure in liquid phases. In 1994 he was a visiting assistant professor at Harvard University, and in 1995 he became adjunct professor at the University of Gottingen. In 1996 he moved to the Universitat Stuttgart as associate professor. In November 1997 he moved to the Universitat Regensburg as full professor. He received fellowships from the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes, the Minerva foundation, the NATO, the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Karl Winnacker Stiftung. Prof. Oliver Reiser will give a talk titled: Converting hay to gold with modern spinning wheels: Application of Mag(net)ic Catalysts in Sustainable Synthesis.
SUZANNE BLUM is a professor of organometallic chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Blum published multiple first-author papers and received teaching awards throughout her tenure at UC-Berkeley. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School in 2006. Professor Suzanne Blum will give a talk titled: Microscopy Mechanistic Studies
PETER ZHANG is a professor of chemistry at the University of Boston. His research program has centered on the development of new catalytic systems for stereoselective chemical transformations and their applications for practical synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically important molecules. He is particularly interested in developing one-electron catalytic approaches to harness the vast potential of homolytic radical reactions for stereoselective construction of molecular structures. Professor Peter Zhang will give a talk titled: Metalloradical Catalysis (MRC): Development of Stereoselective Radical Reactions.
SCHMITZER ANDREEA-RUXANDRA is a professor at Université de Montréal. Her research combines organic, bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry, with the goal of gaining insight into how molecular recognition and motion can be combined, for the development of new catalytic systems and new transmembrane transporters. Professor Schmitzer, Andreea-Ruxandra will give a talk titled: Supramolecular strategies in green catalysis: from simple ion pairs to biohybrid catalysts.
PETER McBREEN is a professor at Université Laval. His research interests involve : Using surface spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy to study the chemical reactivity of catalytic surfaces. Their research strives to provide a basic understanding of surface reactions at the molecular level, provides new chemical method to manipulate nanostructures and delves into the junction of organometallic and heterogeneous catalysis. Professor Peter H. McBreen will give a talk titled: Structure and Dynamics of Single Chiral Molecule/Prochiral Molecule Complexes on Metal Surfaces: Surface Chemistry in Heterogeneous Asymmetric Catalysis.
SUBHASIS GHOSHAL is a professor at McGill University. His expertise is in the area of environmental engineering. His research includes the remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and the fate, transport and reactivity of organic compounds, pathogens and engineered nanomaterials in water and soil environments. Research activities include laboratory studies and mathematical modelling of physiochemical and biological processes. Professor Subhasis Ghoshal will give a talk titled: New approaches to degradation of waste chlorinated solvents using nanoscale zerovalent iron.
