- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded $550,000 to the University of Utah under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to support research transforming amines into complex polycyclic molecules and natural products from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2026. Professor Andrew G. Roberts and his research team will develop new synthetic methodology using tertiary amines as templates to iteratively form carbon-nitrogen and carbon-carbon bonds,...
- The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, doing business as the University of Vermont (UVM), received a $199,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to investigate the potential of a ferroelectric semiconductor material, alpha-In2Se3, for fabricating acoustoelectric circulators. The project aims to: 1) develop techniques for working with this new material, 2) improve its electron mobility through heterostructure...
The University of Vermont (UVM) was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, supports fundamental research by Dr. Brewer to develop new synthetic methods for generating encarbamates and other nitrogen-containing organic compounds. This research aims to discover novel ring-opening reactions that produce a class of compounds called encarbamates, which have broad applications in drug discovery and materials science. The research will train students in synthetic organic chemistry, reaction optimization, and compound characterization, contributing to STEM workforce development. By expanding the toolkit for preparing nitrogen-containing scaffolds, this project has the potential to impact the field of medicinal chemistry.
