Principal Investigator Thomas Hoye, a professor in the Department of Chemistry (College of Science and Engineering), has been named to receive the Ernest Guenther Award in the Chemistry of Natural Products by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The award will be presented at the ACS National Meeting in March 2015, in Denver, Colorado. See more on the chemistry website.
Professor Hoye's groundbreaking research into a fundamentally new reaction, the hexadehydro-Diels-Alder reaction, was featured in an MSI Research Spotlight last year. Experimental and initial computational results of this reaction have been published in the prestigious journal Nature.
