He earned his doctorate from Columbia University and his B.S. from the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Kuo is interested in developing transition metal catalyzed processes that approach perfect atom economy. Examples include oxidations which use O2, or reductions which use H2. Many of these transformations involve careful consideration of how to choreograph the movement of protons and electrons around a transition metal ion in a controlled fashion.
