The University of Virginia received a $325,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Catalysis Program within the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research project led by Professors Jason Bates and Brandon Bukowski to study new approaches for improving the productivity and durability of molecular catalysts through supporting them on nanostructured solids. The project aims to develop more efficient, flexible, and sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing processes by creating catalysts that are more active, longer-lasting, and safer for continuous flow systems. The research combines experimental and computational studies, focusing on asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts, with the goal of establishing a materials-driven approach to molecular catalyst design. The project will also provide educational and outreach opportunities to train students in cutting-edge experimental and machine learning techniques, and engage high school students in hands-on science programs.
