معرفی
Michael Krout serves as Associate Professor of Chemistry at Bucknell University, based in Rooke Chemistry Building Room 308 with contact details including phone (570-577-1548) and email (mrk020@bucknell.edu). His research program focuses on developing novel chemical reactions for synthesizing complex organic molecules with biologically relevant properties.
His academic foundation includes:
- B.S. from Indiana University of Pennsylvania
- Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology
Dr. Krout's research integrates multiple specialized domains within organic chemistry:
- Complex molecule synthesis targeting structurally intricate compounds
- Natural products isolation and synthesis
- Selective organic transformations for precise molecular modifications
- Catalysis development for efficient reaction pathways
Publication analysis reveals consistent expertise in organic synthesis spanning 2009-2018, with significant contributions to terpenoid total synthesis (variecolin, carissone), catalytic asymmetric methods (quaternary stereocenters, ring contractions), and interdisciplinary immunology research (RORγt modulation). The work demonstrates mastery of rearrangement chemistry, ligand design, and natural product applications while frequently involving undergraduate researchers as coauthors.
No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials.
Student mentoring appears integrated through undergraduate coauthorship on publications, though formal advisee lists and grant funding details remain unspecified in available records.
The Krout Research Group maintains active investigations into reaction development at Bucknell University, operating from the Chemistry Department's facilities with emphasis on practical synthetic solutions for complex molecular architectures.
