Description:About the Seminar: In the pursuit of greener and more sustainab
 le chemical synthesis methods\, photocatalysis and electrocatalysis have e
 merged as transformative technologies. Harnessing the power of light and e
 lectricity\, respectively\, these cutting-edge approaches offer unpreceden
 ted opportunities to revolutionize chemical processes\, reducing environme
 ntal impact and advancing the field of synthesis. Their integration into t
 he synthesis toolbox promises to streamline processes\, reduce waste\, and
  minimize the environmental footprint of chemical production. This talk wi
 ll focus on the development of synthetic strategies involving organic free
  radicals generated using photo- or electrocatalysis underpinned on practi
 cality and mechanistic understanding with demonstrated applications in com
 plex systems.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Corey was born in Collingwood\, Ontari
 o\, Canada and received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wa
 terloo in 1998. He completed graduate studies under the direction of Profe
 ssor Peter Wipf at the University of Pittsburgh before joining the lab of 
 Professor Erick M. Carreira at ETH Zürich. In September 2007\, he joined 
 the Department of Chemistry at Boston University as an Assistant Professor
  where he served until June 2013. In July 2013\, he joined the Department 
 of Chemistry at the University of Michigan as Associate Professor of Chemi
 stry\, and in September 2015\, was promoted to full Professor. In June\, 2
 024\, Corey was appointed a the University of British Columbia as the Cana
 da Excellence Research Chair in Innovative Synthetic Methods for Translati
 onal Chemistry with appointments in Chemistry and Biochemistry and Molecul
 ar Biology. He also co-leads a new synthesis laboratory at the BC Cancer R
 esearch Center with Professor Corinna Schindler. 4:00 pm
