Steven T. Diver grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, and attended the University of Utah where he received his bachelor's degree in chemistry. From there, he went on to doctoral studies with Prof. Edwin Vedejs at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Diver then took up a postdoctoral position with Prof. Stuart Schreiber at Harvard, where he became interested in metathesis reactions. He started his independent career at the University at Buffalo (SUNY-Buffalo) in 1997, where he is currently Full Professor. His group is interested in diene synthesis by EYM, synthetic applications, and understanding how the reaction works. Outside the laboratory, Diver enjoys spending time with his family and keeps active with distance running and cycling.
Joseph R. Clark was born in Rochester, NY, in 1986. He received his BS in chemistry from St. John Fisher College in 2008. Near the end of his undergraduate studies, he worked in Prof. Diver's laboratory for 10 weeks during the summer of 2007 as an National Science Foundation-Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF-REU) undergraduate researcher. This is where he was first introduced to EYM and the experience helped stimulate him to pursue doctoral studies in organic chemistry. Joe Clark is currently a third-year graduate student at the University at Buffalo–The State University of New York investigating EYM and new diene functionalization reactions under the direction of Prof. Steven T. Diver.
