报告人简介：

Huw M. L. Davies is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Organic Chemistry at Emory University. His research focuses on the development of new enantioselective synthetic methods. His program covers design of chiral catalysts, metal carbene chemistry, development of new synthetic methodology, total synthesis of biologically active natural products, and development of chiral therapeutic agents. A major current theme of his program is catalytic asymmetric C–H functionalization by means of rhodium-carbene induced C–H insertion. He is actively involved in developing communities for collaborative and synergistic research. He is the Director of the NSF Phase II Center for Chemical Innovation for Selective C-H Functionalization and the Director of the new Catalysis Innovation Consortium, consisting of 38 professors from 28 universities. His awards including the American Chemical Society Cope Scholar Award (2005), the Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis Reagent of the Year Award (2013), Paul Rylander Award (from the Organic Reactions and Catalysis in Synthesis Society) (2018), and the ACS HC Brown Award for Creative Research in Synthetic Methods (2019). He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the American Chemical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
