This is the time of year when we thank and congratulate Whited lab alumni! Congrats to Ben Brewster, who is graduating and will be starting in the Chemistry PhD program at University of Wisconsin in the fall! Also a slightly belated congrats to Irene Stoutland ’21, who is already at UW-Madison working in the Blackwell lab and was recently awarded an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!
Matt’s Perspective paper on using pincer-type complexes to investigate cooperative reactivity between metals and metalloids is now out! The article focuses especially on contributions to this field by Carleton undergraduate researchers in the Whited lab. Check it out here!
Matt and co-PI Gordana Dukovic (University of Colorado – Boulder) organized the 2018 NSF-CHE Early Career Investigator workshop in Alexandria, VA. The workshop brought together 100 junior faculty from a broad range of institutions and sub-fields of research with established investigators and numerous NSF staff to discuss strategies for crafting research ideas, planning educational and outreach activities, and assessing and evaluating project aims. Materials generated at the workshop are shared at go.carleton.edu/nsf2018/materials. Thanks to our speakers and all of NSF for supporting this important effort!
Matt has received a grant from NSF ($70k) with co-PI Gordana Dukovic (CU-Boulder) to organize the 2018 NSF CHE Early Career Investigator Workshop in Alexandria, VA. Please pass along the word to early-career chemists who could benefit from a workshop on proposal preparation. Further details can be found at the workshop website.
Matt served as an invited speaker at the 2017 NSF Chemistry Early Career Investigator Workshop.
Check out a new feature story on the Whited lab and our recent NSF grant in the Carleton Academic News!
The Whited lab has been awarded a $400k grant from the NSF-CAREER program through the SusChEM initiative to support our research into cooperative catalysis using pincers with main-group (esp. Si) central donors! Thanks to all for your hard work on this!
