Casey (University of Wisconsin) who is distinguished organometallic chemist, former President of the American Chemical Society and currently the Homer B. Adkins Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This lectures series is a forum bringing together not only scientist but also students to learn and discuss topics in both inorganic and organometallic reactions in order to develop an understanding of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
