SUMMARY:Chemically and Financially Sustainable Methods for Chemical Synthesis
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Isaiah R. Speight\, College of William and Mary\nSponsored by Stanford Department of Chemistry\nJune 1\, 3:00-4:00 pm\, In-person\, Sapp Center Auditorium (STLC 111)\, Learn more\n\nSustainability has become a more prevalent topic in the chemical sciences due to increasing restrictions on solvents\, environmental impacts from chemistry\, and growing community concern about chemical impact. Our group is taking a broadened approach to sustainability by looking at three topic areas: Synthetic Sustainability\, Financial Sustainability\, and Educational Sustainability. The seminar will cover our group’s advances in solvent-free organic chemistry\, and 3D printed reaction vessels. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Isaiah Speight is an assistant professor at William & Mary in Williamsburg\, VA. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from Norfolk State University and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Vanderbilt University with Dr. Timothy Hanusa.  During his Ph.D.\, he developed mechanochemical methods towards a wide range of inorganic and organometallic complexes. Dr. Speight was also a visiting scientist at AbbVie where he developed a scalable and continuous method for the early steps of the synthesis of Upadacitnib (Rinvoq). Currently\, the Speight research group is tackling challenges in sustainable chemical synthesis. His group is a part of the NSF Center for Mechanical Control of Chemistry and has collaborative partnerships within the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Speight is also the chapter advisor for W&M’s NOBCChE chapter and was previously a NOBCChE National Board Member.
