معرفی
Paul Fischer serves as a Professor of Chemistry at Macalester College, conducting research in organometallic chemical synthesis from his laboratory in the Olin-Rice Science Center (Room 312). His work is funded by the National Science Foundation with a focus on molybdenum and iron chemistry to develop novel molecules exhibiting unique reactivity.
His academic credentials include:
- BS in Chemistry, University of Minnesota, 1993
- PhD in Chemistry, University of Minnesota, 1998
Research interests center on designing organometallic compounds where metal atoms are positioned in specific molecular environments to systematically modify reactivity patterns. His group synthesizes new molecules containing metal-carbon bonds to investigate how structural modifications impact chemical behavior, with applications in fundamental reaction mechanisms.
Professor Fischer actively mentors undergraduate researchers in his laboratory, though specific student names are not documented in the source material. His work is sustained through NSF grants supporting synthetic methodologies in inorganic chemistry.
He maintains an active research program within Macalester's Chemistry department, operating from the Olin-Rice Science Center where he can be reached at fischer@macalester.edu or 651-696-6585.
