Eric Jacobsen received his B.S. degree from NYU in 1982 and his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1986, the latter under the direction of Bob Bergman.  After an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at MIT with Barry Sharpless, he began his independent career at the University of Illinois in 1988.  He moved to Harvard University as full professor in 1993, and he was named the Sheldon Emory Professor of Organic Chemistry in 2001.  He currently directs a research group of 25 graduate students and postdocs at Harvard.  His research efforts are directed toward the discovery, mechanistic elucidation, and application of new organic chemical reactions, with a particular focus on asymmetric catalytic processes.
