Gregory (Greg) C. Fu is a professor of organic chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. His research projects focus on developing new catalysts for many types of reactions. In particular, they use transition metals and various nucleophilic mechanisms for catalytic activity. He also works in preparative-scale chiral chromatography.[2] In 2014, he was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.[3] He was awarded an Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award for 1998-1999.[1] He was awarded the Elias J. Corey Award from the American Chemical Society for 2004.
