Keary has been selected as the recipient of the 2023 Leo Hendrik Baekeland Award by the The North Jersey Section of the American Chemical Society (NJACS). In Keary’s citation for the Baekeland award, NJACS cited the Engle lab’s specific achievements in the use of transition metal catalysts to advance the field of alkene functionalization. Since the group opened in 2015, methods and catalysts developed in the Engle lab have been adopted by academic and industrial labs across the world, streamlining access to a variety of useful products. Congratulations to Engle lab members past and present on this recognition!
