We are delighted to introduce to you Professor James Mack, University of Cincinnati, USA, as one of our inaugural Editorial Board Members for RSC Mechanochemistry.
Learn more about James Mack
James Mack is a professor of chemistry with interests in the development of environmentally benign chemical reactions. After completing his Bachelor’s degree at Middlebury College (1995), he was awarded a New England Board of Higher Education Scholarship and earned his doctoral degree at the University of New Hampshire, studying the derivations of fullerenes under the supervision of Glen P. Miller (2000). After earning his doctoral degree, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Lawrence T. Scott developing a bench top synthesis of fullerenes and nanotubes using corannulene based building blocks. He joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati (2003), was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure (2009) and promoted to the rank of Professor (2016). His research has been featured in the New York Times, Chemical and Engineering News and Chemistry and Industry. He is also the owner and CEO of Cinthesis, a company that uses mechanochemistry to develop environmentally benign synthetic alternatives. In addition to his research accomplishments, he received recognition for his mentorship and service by both graduate and undergraduate students.
