Construction and Functionalization of Heterocycles by Electrochemistry

Eric was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. He graduated from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA, USA in 2010 with a BSc in Chemistry, and completed a PhD at Columbia University in New York, NY, USA in 2015 studying synthetic applications of aromatic ions with Tristan Lambert. He finished his training with David MacMillan at Princeton University (Princeton, NJ, USA) as an NIH postdoctoral fellow developing new light-promoted asymmetric transformations. Eric began his independent career at Penn State University in 2019, where his group develops new catalytic approaches to organic synthesis using unique proton- and/or electron-transfer strategies.
