Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist T. Don Tilley (born in Norman, Oklahoma, November 22, 1954) is a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.[1][2][3]

Career

In 1977, Tilley received his B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Texas.[1] In 1982, he earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Berkeley for his research on organolanthanide chemistry with Professor Richard A. Andersen.[4][5]

Afterwards, he conducted post-doctoral research with Prof. Robert H. Grubbs and Prof. John E. Bercaw at the California Institute of Technology and with Luigi Venanzi and Piero Pino at ETH in Switzerland, during which he developed the chemistry of the (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium fragment ([Cp*Ru]).[6]

He started his independent research career at UC San Diego in 1983, where he was promoted to associate professor in 1988, and to Professor in 1990. In 1994, he accepted appointments as a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley and Faculty Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).[2][7]

Throughout his career, he has published over 430 papers on various subjects in organometallic and inorganic chemistry, as well as materials science.[8] Since 2005, Tilley has also served as the North American Associate Editor for Chemical Communications.[9]

Research

Tilley's research group conducts exploratory synthetic, structural, and reactivity studies of inorganic and organometallic systems. His research program includes: organometallic chemistry and homogenous catalysis, materials chemistry and heterogenous catalysis, organic electronic materials, supramolecular chemistry, and solar energy conversion.[10]
