Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry IV

Professor Gerard (Ged) Parkin joined the faculty of Columbia University as Assistant Professor in 1988 and was promoted to Associate Professor and then to Professor. He served as Chairman of the Department from 1999 – 2002 and has served as Chair of the New York Section of the American Chemical Society, Chair of the Inorganic Chemistry and Catalytic Science Section of the New York Academy of Sciences, Chair of the Organometallic Subdivision of the American Chemical Society Division of Inorganic Chemistry, and Chair of the Gordon Research Conference in Organometallic Chemistry. He is an elected Fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society. He’s also a Science Advisor on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. His principal research interests are in the areas of synthetic, structural, and mechanistic inorganic chemistry. Prof. Dr. Karsten Meyer studied chemistry at the Ruhr-University of Bochum, Germany, and received his Diploma in May 1995. Starting in summer 1995, he performed his PhD thesis work under the direction of Professor Karl Wieghardt at the Max-Planck-Institute in Mülheim / Ruhr (Germany) and received his Ph. D. (Dr. rer. nat, summa cum laude) in January 1998. With a DFG postdoctoral fellowship, Karsten proceeded to gain research experience in the laboratory of Professor Christopher Cummins at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1998 – 2000, MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA). In January 2001, he was appointed to the faculty of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) as an Assistant Professor and was named an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in 2004. In 2006 he accepted an offer (C4/W3) to be the Chair of the Institute of Inorganic & General Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany. Professor O’Hare was appointed to a permanent position and a Septcentenary Tutorial Fellowship at Balliol College, Oxford University in 1990. In 1996 he was named as one of the top 50 leading scientists under 40 in Europe by the Institüt de France, Académie des Sciences, and was awarded the Sir Edward Frankland Fellowship by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1996/97, and became Professor in 1998. In 2012, Dermot was instrumental in creating the SCG-Oxford Centre of Excellence for Chemistry (CoE) on which he serves as the Director. In 2016 he was awarded the RSC Tilden for his creative work on the synthesis, reactivity and advanced characterisation of molecular inorganic compounds and materials spanning organometallic chemistry to framework and layered materials. His interests include exploratory synthetic organometallic chemistry, intercalation chemistry, time-resolved, in situ diffraction studies and the synthesis of meso- and microporous solids.
