معرفی
Ramesh Giri is a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research focuses on organic, organometallic, and sustainable chemistry, particularly in developing novel catalytic reactions and materials using late transition metals. He holds a PhD from The Scripps Research Institute (2009) and postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley and UIUC (2012). His honors include the NIH MIRA Award (2019) and NSF CAREER Award (2016).
Research interests include alkene difunctionalization, electrocatalysts for renewable fuels, and C-H activation. The Giri Lab emphasizes sustainable methodologies and has pioneered strategies like bimetallic catalysis and ligand-enabled transient metallacycle stabilization.
Notable publications span J. Am. Chem. Soc. and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., highlighting innovations in nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings and photoredox systems. His group actively mentors graduate and undergraduate students, with recent alumni advancing to roles in academia and industry.
Awards include the Theme Chemistry Journals Award (2016) and Myron Rosenblum Fellowship (2006). Grants include NSF CAREER funding for sustainable catalysis development.
Labs/Teams: Giri Research Group focuses on cross-disciplinary projects at the chemistry/materials interface, with ongoing efforts in renewable energy materials and drug synthesis.
