Bradford B. Wayland, PhD, professor, Department of Chemistry
Dr. Bradford Wayland moved from the University of Pennsylvania to join the College of Science and Technology as a tenured Professor of Chemistry effective July 1st, 2008. Dr. Wayland has over 140 peer-reviewed publications and two patents to his credit and counts the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy among his current sources of research support. His research interests include metallo-radical and organo-metal substrate reactions that obtain both energy relevant small molecule organometallic transformations and living radical polymerization for applications in block copolymer materials.
Previous Employment: professor, Department of Chemistry, University of Pennsylvania
Research Focus: controlled radical polymerizations of olefins by chain transfer catalysis and living radical polymerization; design and synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers for self assembly into micelles and nano-structured arrays; design and synthesis of new classes of porphyrin and metallo-porphyrin chromophore materials; synthesis, structure and reactivity of organometallic complexes of metallo-macrocycles, spectroscopic and thermodynamic studies of organometallic compounds and intermediates in catalytic reactions of small molecules
