As part of a University of Bordeaux / UWaterloo collaboration, Graham and Tristan went to Bordeaux for a research exchange in the Quideau Lab. Lots of new developments in iodonium ylide chemistry were achieved, making us excited about new ideas.
It was a great way to end the summer!
The end of summer saw Lilian and Cicely finish their work terms in the group, and they are now back to school.
Zhao's postdoctoral position also came to an end, and he's off to Florida for his next PDF.
Thank you very much to all of you for your hard work and dedication in the lab. It is truly appreciated.
Best of luck in your continued studies!
Jasmin's latest paper on oxidative halogenation of secondary phosphine oxides is accepted in Tetrahedron Lett.
Congratulations Jasmin, and thanks for all the hard work.
Graham's students all walked the stage together today: Jason Tao (PhD), Myriam Carle (MSc), Jasmin Eljo (MSc) and Richard Tran (MSc).
Congratulations again to all of you. I am very proud of you.
Jason was awarded this year's W.B. Pearson medal in the Faculty of Science for recognition of creative research as presented in his Ph.D. thesis.
This honour is well-deserved, so congratulations!
Zhao and Graham both went to the CSC in Edmonton. Zhao presented his work on his new iodoarene-catalyzed alkene arylation reaction, and Graham presented in the Early Career Researcher symposium.
Welcome to Cicely and Lilian, who will be working in the lab over the summer. Cicely is working on an industrial project with our partner Isowater, and Lilian will be working on a collaboration project with the Quideau Lab from Bordeaux.
Jason is using his NSERC PDF award to go to MIT this fall and join the Buchwald lab.
Congratulations and good luck!
Congratulations to Myriam and Léanne for their review paper on the intersection of HVI and organophosphorus chemistry being accepted in Asian J. Org. Chem.
We followed our work on allene fluorination with a related paper on chlorination. This has been accepted for publication in the upcoming special issue of the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry on Hypervalent Iodine.
Congratulations Zhao!
