Dr. Geoffrey W. Coates has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Coates received his doctoral degree from Stanford University under the supervision of Professor Robert Waymouth. Dr. Coates will continue research at the California Institute of Technology under the sponsorship of Professor Robert Grubbs. His postdoctoral research will target applications of chiral olefin metathesis catalysts in organic chemistry. In particular, he will concentrate on the development of chiral ruthenium-based carbene complexes and their application as catalysts for asymmetric synthesis. The development of new organometallic reagents and catalysts is important to the synthesis of new molecules of biological importance such as optically active helical complexes. 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.

Geoffrey W. Coates博士被授予美国国家科学基金会化学博士后研究奖学金。他在斯坦福大学Robert Waymouth教授的指导下获得博士学位。科茨博士将在罗伯特·格拉布教授的赞助下继续在加州理工学院进行研究。博士后研究方向为手性烯烃复分解催化剂在有机化学中的应用。特别是，他将专注于手性钌基碳配合物的开发及其作为不对称合成催化剂的应用。新型有机金属试剂和催化剂的开发对于合成具有光学活性的螺旋配合物等具有重要生物学意义的新分子具有重要意义。化学博士后研究奖学金项目被视为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。
