个人简介
BSc (honours, May 1987), PhD (December 1992) — University of Waterloo
Steve Westcott received his PhD from the University of Waterloo under the joint supervision of Drs. Todd B. Marder (now at Universit?t Würzburg) and R. Tom Baker (now at the University of Ottawa) working on metal-catalyzed hydroborations. He was an NSERC PDF, where he spent one year at Emory University in Atlanta, and more than one year working with Maurice Brookhart at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC. He has been at Mount Allison University since August 1995 and is currently a Canada Research Chair in Boron Chemistry
研究领域
Our research focuses on the development of new catalytic and non-catalytic routes to potentially bioactive boron compounds.
Organometallic Boron Chemistry: A major focus in our lab is the development of novel metal complexes for their ability to catalyze the addition of B-E bonds (E = H, B, Si, S, Ge, N, P) to unsaturated organics.
