Gregory (Greg) C. Fu is a professor of organic chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. His research projects focus on developing new catalysts for many types of reactions. In particular, they use transition metals and various nucleophilic mechanisms for catalytic activity. He also works in preparative-scale chiral chromatography.[2] In 2014, he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[3] He was awarded an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award for 1998-1999.[1]
Education
Gregory Fu received his BS from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985, then completed his PhD at Harvard University in 1991.[1]
