Animesh Goswami, Jon D. Stewart
Designed for post-graduates in chemistry or chemical engineering and professionals working in industry, who need to understand the use of enzymes to perform synthetic organic transformations.
Dr. Jon D. Stewart has led his academic research group at the University of Florida since joining the department in 1994 as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Professor of Chemistry in 2006 and also has affiliate appointments in the Departments of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Biomedical Engineering. His research has included a number of topics in biocatalysis including Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases, nicotinamide-dependent carbonyl reductases with a current emphasis on alkene reductases. He has authored or co-authored 100 research publications and has given numerous invited lectures at meetings and companies. He has served as an editor for the Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic since 2003. Dr. Stewart earned B.S. and M.S. degrees from Bucknell University, his Ph.D. from Cornell University and was a Helen Hay Whitney Postdoctoral Fellow at Penn State University.
