Biography:
Krisztián Lőrincz received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest, Hungary) before joining XiMo Hungary Ltd. (Verbio group). XiMo, co-founded by Prof. R. R. Schrock (MIT/UC Riverside) and Prof. A. H. Hoveyda (Boston College), focuses on the synthesis and application of Schrock metathesis catalysts. In 2010/11 Dr. Lőrincz spent 6 months in Boston, USA in the laboratories of Prof. Schrock and Prof. Hoveyda to get familiar with the synthesis and use of Schrock catalysts. In the past twelve years, he has been involved in the development process that turned this field of chemistry from an exotic, laboratory scale transformation into an industrial scale production technology.
Title : Industrial scale olefin metathesis with schrock catalysts
