The University of Chicago Department of Chemistry is honored to welcome Professor Eric Jacobsen, Sheldon Emery Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University, as the distinguished speaker for the Kharasch Lectures on April 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Prof. Jacobsen's work on asymmetric catalysis, particularly the development of catalysts like those used in the eponymous Jacobsen epoxidation and other widely adopted reactions, has had a profound impact on both academic research and industrial synthesis. His mechanistic insights have also advanced the fundamental principles of catalyst design. The Kharasch Lectures will provide a platform for Professor Jacobsen to share insights from his illustrious career. The lectures will span three days, each focusing on a different facet of his research.
