Biography
Dr. Fogg's research in organometallic chemistry and catalysis focuses on design and discovery of highly active, robust, and selective catalysts, for applications ranging from pharmaceutical synthesis to tissue engineering. A particular focus is on important problems in the rapidly evolving area of olefin metathesis, and highly efficient "tandem" catalysis, in which a single catalyst precursor affects multiple reaction types. A recent area of investigation, which has triggered much industrial and academic interest, centers on development of MALDI mass spectrometry as a tool for structural and mechanistic insight in organometallic chemistry and catalysis.
