      • Gregory (Greg) C. Fu is an American chemist who is a professor of organic chemistry at the California Institute of Technology, where he is the Norman Chandler Professor of Chemistry. The current research interests of the Fu laboratory include metal-catalyzed coupling reactions and the design of chiral catalysts. In particular, the group is focused on the development of nickel-catalyzed enantioselective cross-couplings of alkyl electrophiles and on photoinduced, copper-catalyzed carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions. The group works in collaboration with the laboratory of Professor Jonas C. Peters.
      In 2014, he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He was awarded an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award in 1998-1999.
      He was awarded the Elias J. Corey Award from the American Chemical Society in 2004.


      Education


      Gregory Fu received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985, where he worked in the laboratory of Professor Karl Barry Sharpless, then completed his Ph.D. at Harvard University in 1991 under Professor David A. Evans. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Robert H. Grubbs at the California Institute of Technology from 1991 to 1993, before accepting an assistant professor position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked from 1993 to 2012. In 2012, he was appointed the Altair Professor of Chemistry at Caltech. Professor Fu is currently the Norman Chandler Professor of Chemistry at Caltech.
