George R. Newkome received his B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry from Kent State University. He joined Louisiana State University in 1968 becoming a full professor in 1978 and Distinguished Research Master in 1982. In 1986, he moved to the University of South Florida as Vice President for Research and Professor of Chemistry, becoming a Distinguished Research Professor in 1992. In 2001, he was appointed as Oelschlager Professor of Science and Technology at the University of Akron, where he is also Professor of Polymer Science and Chemistry, Vice President for Research, Dean of the Graduate School, and President of the University's Research Foundation. He has 20 edited and authored books, over 400 journal publications, and numerous patents resulting from research in supra(macro)molecular chemistry, molecular dendritic and fractal assemblies, nanochemistry, inorganic–organic interfaces, molecular inclusion chemistry, molecular electronics, and photonics.
Carol D. Shreiner completed her B.S. in chemistry in 1999 at The University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA. In 2004, she earned a Ph.D. in chemistry at The University of Akron. Her graduate research focused on porphyrin/polyphenylene dendritic systems and transition-metal terpyridyl systems as artificial photosynthetic reaction centers. During her graduate career, she was awarded the Noveon Research Award for research excellence and was a Flexsys Fellowship award recipient (1999–2003). She is a member of Iota Sigma Pi, the national honor society of women in chemistry.
Dr. Shreiner is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Dr. George R. Newkome studying novel shape-persistent transition-metal terpyridyl complexes and dendritic macromolecules. She was recently appointed as an assistant professor at Hiram College, where she will begin in August 2007.
