We acknowledge the many challenges in our society and in academia that result from discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, religion, disability, veteran status, gender, or sexual orientation. For those who endeavor to pursue chemical research, we recognize that a diverse team of scientists are best suited to uncover creative solutions and innovations to challenging scientific problems. We affirm that equity and inclusion should be a foundation of any workforce and society (in general). We are committed to welcoming and supporting a diverse team of students, postdocs, and scholars and always aim to seek out avenues for betterment as a group and as individuals.

Nathaniel (Nate) Szymczak was born in Wollongong, Australia. In 2002 he received his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry (with a specialization in environmental chemistry) from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. In the fall of 2002, Nate began doctoral studies under the direction of David Tyler at the University of Oregon. His graduate research focused on water-soluble transition metal dihydrogen and dinitrogen complexes as well as hydrogen-bonding interactions of a coordinated H2 ligand. As part of an NSF-IGERT graduate fellowship, he participated in a brief internship at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and worked with Dr. John Linehan to uncover the mechanism of hydrogen release from hydrogen storage materials, as well as to elucidate the active catalyst structure using Operando XAS methods. He was awarded a Ph.D. in 2007, and following doctoral studies, he pursued postdoctoral research with Professor Jonas Peters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology. His work focused on the development of bimetallic macrocyclic coordination complexes for electrocatalytic proton reduction and other multi-electron transformations at ambient and elevated pressures. In 2010, Nate joined the faculty at the University of Michigan where his research program uses principles of main group and transition metal chemistry to address biochemical questions and challenging synthetic problems of global importance. | ||
