Two Talks by Alan S. Goldman of Rutgers University in the Department of Chemistry
Houssam Rassy, Department of Chemistry�ċ
Our aim of inviting a speaker is to give the faculty members and students at the chemistry �ċdepartment an opportunity to interact with an internationally renowned academic and researcher. These interactions can stimulate discussions of research, curricular and administrative topics that can be useful for the department. Alan Goldman is a Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University who is an authority in the area of alkane functionalization. This is one of the holy grails in chemistry which seeks to use abundant alkane resources such as natural gas as a feed stock to make valuable commodities. Prof. Goldman has several classic publications and patents in this field. During the proposed visit, Prof. Goldman will give a seminar highlighting the significance and recent trends in alkane functionalization and will present some of the new findings from his own laboratory. Prof. Goldman will also give a second public-oriented talk pertaining to the immense current global efforts to develop new methods for ammonia synthesis. In addition to describing research from his lab, Prof. Goldman will discuss the economy and sustainability factors that need to be taken into consideration in the new developments. This talk can be of interest to faculty and students from other departments such as economics and chemical engineering. In addition to giving talks, during the planned visit Prof. Goldman will meet individually with interested faculty members and students to discuss their research programs. The department will arrange for additional meetings in which students will meet with Prof. Goldman in an informal setting to give them the opportunity to inquire about emerging trends in graduate studies.�ċ
