- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a 3-year, $300,000 Project Grant to Dr. Robert T. Martin at Princeton University under the NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports Dr. Martin's research project titled "MPS-ASCEND: Development of Selective Reaction Schemes for Photoactivation of Alcohols" under the mentorship of Dr. David W.C. MacMillan. The project aims to develop novel organic...
This three-year National Science Foundation Mathematical and Physical Sciences Project Grant of $300,000 supports the research project "MPS-ASCEND: Nickel/Photoredox-Catalyzed C(sp3)-C(sp3) Cross-Coupling Between Alkyl Halides and Activated Alcohols" led by Dr. Melecio Perea at the University of California Los Angeles under the mentorship of Dr. Abigail Doyle. The proposed work intends to explore the merger of nickel and photoredox catalysis to enable the functionalization of C(sp3) centers through the development of alkyl-alkyl coupling in racemic form. Mechanistic investigations and evaluation of the reaction scope and potential applicability to medically relevant transformations will provide insight. Computational modeling in the form of multivariable linear regression analysis will complement the research. Dr. Perea also intends to mentor graduate and undergraduate students from historically excluded backgrounds through the NSF Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate at UCLA, which aims to enhance diversity in academia.
