Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

James H. Gilchrist被授予化学博士后研究奖学金。吉尔克里斯特博士毕业于康奈尔大学，师从David Collum教授。吉尔克里斯特博士将在约翰·伯考教授的赞助下继续在加州理工学院进行研究。Gilchrist博士的博士后培训将为他提供过渡金属化合物的合成和物理化学方面的技能。具体来说，他将研究铂介导的烷烃活化过程。从长远来看，他计划研究过渡金属催化羰基化合物与烯烃的偶联。化学博士后研究奖学金项目是一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。

James H. Gilchrist has been awarded a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Gilchrist's doctoral degree was from Cornell University under the supervision of Professor David Collum. Dr. Gilchrist will continue research at the California Institute of Technology under the sponsorship of Professor John Bercaw. Dr. Gilchrist's postdoctoral training will provide him with skills in the synthetic and physical chemistry of transition metal compounds. Specifically, he will study platinum-mediated alkane activation processes. Longer term he plans to investigate the transition metal catalyzed coupling of carbonyl compounds to alkenes. %%% The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph.D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
