Learn more about each of the winners, gain insight into their research inspirations, and view their winning posters.
ACS Publications, in partnership with the University of Vienna, hosted a Symposium, "Catalysis for Organic Synthesis," from July 31 - August 1, 2024. This two-day event presented a exciting convergence of ideas and discovery across organic, organometallic, and related fields of chemistry.
The symposium's Scientific Organizing Committee accepted 95 abstracts, which were presented in person during the event. Six poster winners and one fan favorite were selected based on their exceptional research. We caught up with each of the winners to learn about what inspires their work, current unsolved issues affecting their respective fields, and helpful tips for first-time poster presenters.
We hope you enjoy getting to know each of the winners and exploring their research below.
