Practical Kinetics and Mechanisms of Chemical and Enzymatic Reactions

Alexander D. Ryabov was educated at Moscow State University, where he obtained a PhD in 1979 and his DSc for studies of mechanisms of the formation and conversion of palladacycles in 1988. He was a Full Professor at the Departments of Chemistry of Moscow State University and G. V. Plekhanov Institute of National Economy, Russia until 2000, when he moved to Carnegie Mellon University, USA, to apply his kinetic and mechanistic skills to advance TAML activators. He currently holds a distinguished life appointment as a Research Leader in the Institute for Green Science and the Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the author of over 220 publications on chemistry, catalysis, enzymology and biochemistry.
