Michael Pittelkow Date of birth: December 31, 1977 Position: Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. E-mail: pittel@kiku.dk Homepage: www.pittelkow.kiku.dk Education: Master of chemistry, 2003, University of Copenhagen. Master’s thesis supervisor: Jorn B. Christensen. During my undergraduate years I spent six months at CSIRO in Melbourne, Australia working with Kevin Winzenberg and six months at the Technical University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands working with E. W. Meijer. PhD in chemistry, 2006, University of Copenhagen, Supervisor: Jorn B. Christensen, “On chiral PAMAM dendrimers, naphthalenes, and dynamic combinatorial chemistry’. During my PhD I spent six months at the University of Cambridge, UK working with Jeremy K. M. Sanders. Postdoctoral position, 2006–2008, Cambridge, UK, Supervisor: Jeremy K. M. Sanders. Awards: Lundbeck Foundation Talent Rrize (2007). Current research Interests: I am interested in molecular recognition, synthetic organic chemistry, and the study of reaction mechanisms. Currently the main efforts in my group center around studies of molecular recognition in water using dynamic combinatorial chemistry, the synthesis of heterocyclic antiaromatic [8]circulenes, the development of new reactions to incorporate selenols into organic substrates, and the design and synthesis of colorless (near-infrared) dyes.
