Summer 2013

The Chemistry Summer Undergraduate Research Program (CSURP), has been developed by the CCHF to provide a mechanism for undergraduates to engage in C–H Functionalization research and engage in research exchange experiences.

Wayne Chen, an undergraduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology who worked in the Marder Group, was the recipient of one of the 2013 CSURP fellowships and travelled to Emory University in the summer of 2013. Wayne spent the summer working in the lab of Prof. Huw Davies, working on the development and application of novel catalysts scaffoleds.

During the program Wayne not only carried out research in the lab, but also engaged in a professional development sessions at Emory University as part of the SURE REU program as well as participating in CCHF virtual meetings, reporting his work, engaging with other CSURP students and the other CCHF members.
