Brief Introduction of Professor Gregory C. Fu

Gregory C. Fu is a professor in Caltech. He received his Bachelor degree from MIT in 1985, and obtained the Ph.D. degree from Harvard University. Then did his postdoctoral research at Caltech from 1991 to 1993. In 1993, he became a staff of MIT, afterward, he shifted to Caltech in 2012. His present research field is nickel and copper catalyzed coupling reactions. For nickel catalysis, he is pursuing the discovery of metal-based catalysts for coupling a wide range of alkyl electrophiles. Additionally, in copper catalysis, he is devoting the use of light and a transition-metal catalyst to achieve a wide range of couplings of heteroatom nucleophiles with alkyl electrophiles. Enantioconvergent reactions of racemic nucleophiles are being investigated. He has received several important awards such as Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award of ACS in 1998, Chan Memorial Award in Organic Chemistry in 2000, Springer Award in Organometallic Chemistry in 2001, Corey Award in 2005, Mukaiyama Award in 2006, and Catalysis Science Award of Mitsui Chemicals. Moreover, in 2012 he obtained the Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry of ACS and become a fellow of National Academy of Sciences of USA in 2014.
