Description:About the Seminar:\n\nComplex alkaloids bearing unusual structu
 ral features serve as challenging proving grounds for modern chemical meth
 ods and inspiration for the development of new synthetic strategies. Here\
 , we showcase our recent work towards the total synthesis of unique alkalo
 ids from the Lycopodium\, rauvomine\, and stephaoxocane families.\n\nAbout
  the speaker:\n\n\nMyles Smith is a synthetic organic chemist and native o
 f Cape Town\, South Africa. He obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) degree at the Uni
 versity of Cape Town and subsequently undertook graduate studies at Columb
 ia University under the direction of Scott Snyder. His doctoral research f
 ocused on the total synthesis of complex alkaloids and the development of 
 novel pyrone-based methods. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 2015\, Myles cond
 ucted postdoctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute and then at 
 Stanford University with Phil Baran and Noah Burns\, respectively\, where 
 his research centered upon the synthesis of bioactive natural products and
  asymmetric catalysis. Myles began his independent career at UT Southweste
 rn in June 2019\, where his lab seeks to streamline the synthesis of compl
 ex molecules of medicinal value and develop tools in asymmetric catalysis.
