Newman, Stephen - University of Ottawa - Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences

个人简介

Stephen grew up in Newfoundland, Canada before attending Dalhousie University, where he completed his B.Sc, Honours in Chemistry in 2008. During his studies, he completed research projects in computational chemistry with Prof. Russell J. Boyd and organic synthesis with Prof. D. Jean Burnell. He then moved to Toronto where he completed a summer internship on boron catalysis with Prof. Mark S. Taylor before starting his doctoral studies on with Prof. Mark Lautens. During this time, he investigated new pathways for palladium catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions, and carried out an internship with Prof. Frank Glorius at the University of Muenster studying applications for NHC ligands. Upon graduating, he moved to Boston to carry out research in the lab of Prof. Klavs F. Jensen at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There, he applied his knowledge of organic synthesis and catalysis to the development of continuous processes for chemical manufacturing in collaboration with Novartis AG and Shell Oil Company. In Summer 2014, Stephen joined the Center for Catalysis Research and Innovation (CCRI) at the University of Ottawa as an Assistant Professor to apply strategies in flow chemistry and transition metal catalysis to the development of new, industrially relevant chemical reactions. He holds the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Catalysis, was a Thieme Chemistry Journal Awardee in 2015, and received the John Polanyi Prize in Chemistry in 2016.

研究领域

Our research group is interested in developing new chemical reactions and processes for application in the pharmaceutical, fine, and bulk chemical industries. Transition metal catalysis and flow chemistry strategies play a central role in our studies. Towards the goal of overcoming the chemical industry's reliance on crude oil, renewable starting materials such as those derived from biomass feedstocks are employed when possible.
