Meet the Speaker: Prof. Abby Doyle UCLA Talk title: Nickel and Photocatalysis
BS: Harvard (White); Pre-Doc: Stanford (Du Bois); PhD: Harvard (Jacobsen);
Prof. Doyle received her BS from Harvard studying iron catalysis with Prof. Christina White where she was awarded a SURF Fellowship.  Abby moved to the West Coast for a year of pre-graduate studies at Stanford with Prof. Du Bois before returning to Harvard for her PhD. with Prof. Jacobsen. In 2008, Prof. Doyle started her independent career at Princeton where she received tenure (2013) before moving to UCLA in 2021 where she serves as the Saul Winstein Chair in Organic Chemistry. The Doyle lab studies Ni-catalysis, fluorination and photochemistry and has become a leader in Machine Learning and Data Science. Abby has earned numerous awards including the ACS EJ Corey Award (2022), ACS Cope Scholar (2013) and was named an ACS Fellow in 2020. Website: doyle.chem.ucla.edu
