Dr. Jonathan E. Dannatt completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry and mathematics at Lyon College, a liberal arts institution nestled in the foothills of the Ozarks. During his time at Lyon, he participated in various undergraduate research projects, including an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at Georgetown University. These formative research experiences influenced his decision to pursue a graduate degree at Michigan State University (MSU), where he enrolled in 2014 after completing his coursework at Lyon.
At MSU, Dr. Dannatt joined Professor Robert Maleczka's research group, focusing on organic chemistry. His doctoral studies centered on developing active and selective iridium-based C鈥揌 activation borylation catalysts and synthesizing silsesquioxanes鈥攈ybrid organic-inorganic compounds that significantly enhance polymer properties. Dr. Dannatt successfully defended his dissertation and earned his PhD in July 2019.
In August 2019, Dr. Dannatt joined the faculty at the 吃瓜网, where he teaches the organic chemistry sequence. Inspired by the profound impact of his own undergraduate research experiences, he is dedicated to providing transformative research opportunities in organic chemistry to his students at the 吃瓜网.
