Description:About the Seminar:\n\nEnzymes are optimal catalysts for chemica
 l synthesis because they can be evolved to provide unparalleled levels of 
 selectivity. They are\, however\, limited to reactivity patterns found in 
 nature. In this talk\, I will share our groups approach to address this li
 mitation using radicals and light. \n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nProfessor Hy
 ster is a native of Minnesota. He was an undergraduate at the University o
 f Minnesota before moving to Colorado State University for his Ph.D. He wo
 rked in the labs of Tomislav Rovis developing methods for synthesizing nit
 rogen-containing heterocycles using Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H activation. Du
 ring his graduate studies\, Todd spent time in the lab of Thomas Ward at t
 he University of Basel developing an artificial metalloenzyme for C–H ac
 tivation reactions. After completing his Ph.D. in 2013\, he joined the lab
 s of Frances Arnold as an NIH postdoctoral fellow. In the Arnold lab\, he 
 developed P450s catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions. In 2015\, Todd joine
 d the Chemistry Department at Princeton University as an assistant profess
 or where his group develops new methods to expand the repertoire of reacti
 on available to enzymes.  4:00 pm
