David Guptill
Graduate Student, The Davies Group, Emory University, 2009-2014
Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Methodology Development, Catalyst Design
David was a graduate student in the Davies group from 2009 until 2014. As part of the Center he investigated the design of new catalysts and the factors that determine selectivity in carbene C–H insertion chemistry.
He began a postdoctoral fellowship in the Hoye group in December of 2014 at the University of Minnesota.
