个人简介

Levi was born in Bismarck, North Dakota in 1979. He grew up in Washburn, North Dakota and graduated from Washburn High School in 1997. He received his B.A. in Chemistry from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD in 2001, where he worked with Professor Gary Earl and Professor Jetty Duffy-Matzner. In 2002, he began his graduate studies with Professor Mukund P. Sibi at North Dakota State University. There he developed enantioselective dipolar cycloaddition reactions and applications of chiral relay ligands and auxiliaries in enantioselective catalysis. He received his Ph.D. in 2007 and moved to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign to begin an NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship with Professor John F. Hartwig. At the U of I he developed a variety of enantioselective, iridium-catalyzed allylic substitution reactions. In 2011, he received an NIH Pathways to Independence Award (K99/R00) to develop new strategies to generate artificial metalloenzymes with Professor Huimin Zhao and Professor Hartwig. In January of 2012, he joined the Chemistry Department at Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor.

研究领域

Organic and Organometallic Chemistry/Catalysis/and Asymmetric Synthesis

Research in the Stanley Laboratory focuses on the identification of catalysts and the development of synthetic methods that streamline the synthesis of medicinally and industrially important molecules. Areas of interest include: 1) the development of new metal-catalyzed alkene functionalization reactions; 2) the development of new synthetic methods to form and functionalize heterocycles; and 3) the identification and development of catalysts that lie at the interface of traditional homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Students in the Stanley group learn synthetic organic chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry, catalytic reaction development, asymmetric synthesis and catalysis, and materials synthesis and characterization. These skills are leveraged to address challenges in the development of new alkene hydroacylation and carboacylation reactions, the synthesis of quaternary carbon stereocenters, the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and the application of MOFs and COFs as catalysts of valuable organic reactions.
