| Dr. James Dye's illustrious career is an extensive one. In the past 20 years alone, he has produced 91 research papers in chemistry, published in various journals including Science, Nature, and Journal of the American Chemical Society. His work has warranted coverage in The New York Times and numerous other newspapers and publications. During this same period, his research group received more than $3.3 million in research funds from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
Dr. Dye is the only chemist in Michigan awarded membership in the National Academy of Sciences, and was until recently the only MSU professor in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. At age 70, he received the highest award given for Inorganic Chemistry in the U.S., the American Chemical Society National Award in Inorganic Chemistry. Dr. Dye's work with Columbia doctoral student Michael Lefenfeld led to the formation of SiGNa Chemistry, an early-stage company developing unique solutions to compelling chemistry problems. The company's nano-encapsulated alkali materials are currently used in academia, and industrial markets as diverse as pharmaceutical synthesis, petroleum refining, organometallics, catalysis, and hydrogen energy. |
