Biography
Hairong Guan is an organometallic chemist with research interest in synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry, catalysis, and reaction mechanisms. After earning a B.S. degree from Peking University in 2000, he joined the research group of Professor Jack Norton at Columbia University, where he studied ruthenium-catalyzed ionic hydrogenation of iminium and aziridinium cations. Upon completion of his Ph.D. in 2005, he took a postdoctoral fellow position in the laboratory of Professor Charles Casey at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research project in Wisconsin involved the development of iron-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. He joined the faculty of the University of Cincinnati in 2007 and is currently a Professor of Chemistry. He received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2010 and was named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 2013.
