معرفی
C. Scott Hartley is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Miami University, Ohio. He leads the Hartley Group, focusing on physical organic chemistry, foldamers, and nonequilibrium systems. His research explores abiotic systems inspired by biochemical principles, aiming to develop sophisticated non-biological chemical systems. Current projects include folding of sterically congested polyphenylenes and carbodiimide-driven reaction networks.
Education:
- Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Illinois (2005–2007)
- Ph.D., Chemistry, Queen's University (2005)
- B.Sc.H., Chemistry, Queen's University (2000)
Research: The lab bridges organic chemistry and materials science, using synthetic, physical organic, and materials characterization techniques. Key areas include transient polymers, photoresponsive materials, and dissipative assembly systems. Funding support comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE).
Publications & Awards: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles, including work on carbodiimide-driven systems and foldamer dynamics. No specific awards listed, but contributions to materials chemistry and nonequilibrium systems are notable.
Advising & Labs: Advises graduate and undergraduate researchers. Recent group members include Afsana Chowdhury, Maliha Chowdhury, Sujin Waikhom, and Henry Oliver. Lab spaces are located in Hughes Hall (rooms 276, 376, 377).
Additional Activities: Maintains a blog on tech in chemistry education, and contributes to open-source tools like litdb for publication management. Active on Mastodon, Twitter, LinkedIn, and GitHub.
