Young, Rowan D. - National University of Singapore - Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science

个人简介

Rowan obtained his BSc.(Hons) from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), then went on to pursue his PhD at the Australian National University under the supervision of Professor Anthony Hill. After stints at Oxford and Edinburgh as a post-doc in the Weller and Arnold groups respectively, he took up a position at NUS in 2014.

研究领域

My group’s chemistry is focused on developing and understanding catalytic chemical transformations. The ability to streamline the efficiency of current and future industrial catalytic processes is a key element in societies’ reduction of energy usage for a greener future. This research field encompasses more traditional redox active metal based catalysis to recently developed Frustrated Lewis Pair (FLP) catalysis. In particular I am interested in accessing alternate reaction pathways and reaction products through the use of Z-type ligands (electron pair acceptors) and carbocation Lewis acids.
