Eric Keske hired at Trent University [@TrentU, @EricKeske]

Eric completed his B.Sc. at the University of Western Ontario, and then moved to Queen's University for his Ph.D. working with Professor Cathleen Crudden. His research was focused on the design and development of novel homogeneous catalysts for use in organic synthesis. During his Ph.D., Eric was awarded with multiple teaching awards and participated in a research exchange at the University of Waterloo working with Professor Eric Fillion in organic synthesis. Additionally, Eric was awarded the Dobbin Scholarship from the Ireland Canada University Federation (ICUF) which sent him to Dublin Ireland to work with Professor Martin Albrecht at University College Dublin.
In 2015, Eric was selected as one of the 45 international Reaxys Ph.D. Prize finalists, and was awarded an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Edinburgh, UK, working with Professor Guy Lloyd-Jones in mechanistic organic chemistry. On his return to Canada, Eric’s second postdoctoral fellowship was at the University of Toronto working with Professor Robert Morris designing bifunctional ligands for applications in catalytic hydrogenation. Eric will begin his appointment at Trent University in July and begin a research program dedicated to homogeneous catalysis and the development of synthetic methods for conjugated organic materials.
