T. V. (Babu) RajanBabu received his undergraduate education in India (Kerala University and IIT, Madras). He obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree from The Ohio State University under the direction of Prof. Harold Shechter, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University with the late Prof. R. B. Woodward. He then joined the Research Staff of Dupont Central Research. He returned to Ohio State as a Prof. of Chemistry in 1995. His research interests are in new practical methods for stereoselective synthesis focusing on enantioselective catalysis, organometallic, and free radical chemistry, and their applications in the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
G. Adam Cox received his BSc and MSc degrees from Youngstown State University. He entered the Ohio State University as a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry in 2007, and, subsequently, joined Prof. RajanBabu's group where he conducted research toward his doctor of Philosophy degree. His research involved the development and applications of asymmetric hydrovinylation reactions in natural product synthesis. He completed the total syntheses of several natural products in the serrulatane and amphilectane families. Currently, he works as a scientist at the Lubrizol Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio.
Hwan Jung Lim was born and brought up in Seoul, South Korea. After his undergraduate studies he was engaged in industrial research for 5 years in a pharmaceutical company. Then he came to the US for his graduation and received his doctor of Philosophy degree under the guidance of Prof. RajanBabu at the Ohio State University in 2009. Then, he moved to National Institute on Drug Abuse as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Kenner C. Rice's group. Currently, he is working at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology as a senior scientist. His major research interests are in the discovery of new drugs using the tools of chemical biology.
Nobuyoshi Nomura completed his doctor of Philosophy in 1994 under the supervision of Prof. Hisashi Yamamoto at Nagoya University in Japan. He joined the groups of Prof. Jeffrey M. Stryker at University of Alberta, Canada, and, then of Prof. T. V. RajanBabu at the Ohio State University, USA as a postdoctoral fellow. He moved to Nagoya University as an Assistant Professor in 1996 and started to work in polymer synthesis. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at Nagoya University. His current research focuses on the development of synthetic methods for controlled regioselective and/or enantioselective polymerizations.
Rakesh K. Sharma was born in Rajasthan, India in 1976. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. Rakesh received his doctor of Philosophy in 2007 from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore under the supervision of Prof. A. G. Samuelson. He then joined the RajanBabu group (2007–10) at the Ohio State University, as postdoctoral fellow where he developed the Cocatalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation reactions. Presently, Rakesh is an Assistant Professor in the department of chemistry at Indian Institute of Technology, Rajasthan, Jodhpur, India. His current research interests focus on f-block metal-bisphosphinite chemistry, small molecule activation, plastic electronics, asymmetric catalysis, and water splitting.
Craig R. Smith was born in 1983 in Columbus, OH, USA. He graduated with his BS in Chemistry in 2003 and MS in Chemistry in 2005 from Youngstown State University under the direction of Prof. Peter Norris. In the same year, he started his doctor of Philosophy studies at the Ohio State University under the supervision of Prof. T. V. RajanBabu. Craig worked as a Postdoctoral Associate in the laboratories of Prof. Gregory C. Fu at MIT before he accepted a position as the Intellectual Property Technical Advisor at Calfee, Halter, & Griswold LLP. In addition to his interest in Intellectual Property, his research interests include the development of asymmetric carbon–carbon and carbon–nitrogen bond forming reactions, and the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic natural products and analogs thereof.
Aibin Zhang was born in China in 1974. After completing his BS in Chemistry at Anhui Normal University in 1996, he entered Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, where he got his doctor of Philosophy under the guidance of Dr. Shengming Ma in 2001. After a brief postdoctoral stint with Dr. Sean M. Kerwin at the University of Texas at Austin, he joined Prof. RajanBabu's research group at the Ohio State University in 2003. His research at Ohio State focused on the development and application of asymmetric hydrovinylation reaction. Currently he works in chemical industry.
