Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

Chad a . Mirkin博士被授予化学博士后研究奖学金。米尔金博士的博士学位是在宾夕法尼亚大学格雷戈里·杰弗里教授的指导下获得的。米尔金博士打算在马克·赖特顿教授的赞助下继续在麻省理工学院进行研究。米尔金博士的博士后培训和研究领域将是能够影响电催化的微电极装置的开发。最初，他将开发一种微电极，它将使用大循环来检测锂。这次培训将为他提供设计其他可能用于氧原子转移反应的催化电极的背景知识。化学博士后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。

Dr. Chad A. Mirkin has been awarded a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Mirkin's doctoral degree was from the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Professor Gregory Geoffroy. Dr. Mirkin intends to continue research at MIT under the sponsorship of Professor Mark Wrighton. Dr. Mirkin's area of postdoctoral training and research will be the development of microelectrode devices capable of effecting electrocatalysis. Initially he will develop a microelectrode which will use macrocycles to detect Lithium. This training will provide him with the background to design other catalytic electrodes which may be used for oxygen atom transfer reactions. The Postdoctoral 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.
