Gregory_Chung-Wei_Fu
Gregory (Greg) C. Fu is a Professor of organic chemistry at the California Institute of Technology and the Norman Chandler Professor of Chemistry.[2] The current research interests of the Fu laboratory include metal-catalyzed coupling reactions and the design of chiral catalysts. In particular, the group is focused on the development of nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings of alkyl electrophiles and on photoinduced, copper-catalyzed carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions. The group works in collaboration with the laboratory of Professor Jonas C. Peters.[3]
In 2014, he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[4] He was awarded an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award in 1998-1999.[1] He was awarded the Elias J. Corey Award from the American Chemical Society in 2004.
