Description
The Department of Chemistry is pleased to welcome Professor Daniele Leonori from RWTH Aachen University as a guest speaker for this Organic Syntheses Lecture.
Bio: Daniele obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from the University of Sheffield (UK), and did postdocs with Magnus Rueping and Peter Seeberger. He then joined the group of Prof. Varinder K. Aggarwal (University of Bristol) as a Research Officer. Daniele began his independent academic career at the University of Manchester in 2014 as a Lecturer, was promoted to Reader in 2018, and to Professor in 2020. In 2022, he was appointed W3 Professor and Chair of Organic Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University. Research in the Leonori group focuses on the development of novel synthetic methodologies based on radical and photochemical strategies.
Info: This colloquium, hosted by Professor Sophie Rousseaux, will take place in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and online attendance.
