Principal Investigator
Professor James E. Jackson (Ned)
As a pioneer in hydridic to protonic hydrogen-hydrogen hydrogen bonding, Professor Jackson (Ned) reshaped our understanding of hydrogen bonding with his high impact publications. His ACS Chemical Reviews article, Dihydrogen Bonding: Structures, Energetics, and Dynamics, has been cited over 400 times to date. Ned is also well-known for his diverse and in-depth understanding on thermodynamics, organic mechanisms, and computational calculations among his colleagues, collaborators, and the academic community. Today, Ned has published and co-authored over 120 publications on different areas in chemistry, holding a number of academic patents, and has been invited to conduct lectures across the globe. Recently, Ned has reached out to green chemistry by tackling the renewable energy problem using biomass to replace the depleting fossil fuels. His innovative strategy of using renewable electricity in upgrading biomass fast-pyrolysis oil is one of the most creative, yet neat, concepts in the field of bio-fuel production.
