Djamaladdin (Jamal) Musaev received his B.A. degree from Azerbaijan State University, Azerbaijan, and PhD degree from USSR Academy of Sciences (Moscow). He worked as a Research Fellow and then as a Sr. Research Fellow at the Institute for New Chemical Problems of USSR Academy of Sciences (Chernogolovka, Moscow region). In 1991, Jamal was awarded by JSPS junior fellowship and worked at Institute for Molecular Sciences, Okazaki, Japan (1991-1993) under guidance of Prof. Keiji Morokuma. In 1993, Dr. Musaev moved to the Emory University, Atlanta, USA. Dr. Musaev is a Director of the Emerson Center for Scientific Computation, and Adjunct Professor of Chemistry. Musaev is co-founder of the Emory BioInspired Energy Center, the CCI-NSF Center for Stereoselective C-H Functionalization, and founder of the Emerson Center Lectureship Award promoting multi-disciplinarity in modern science and technology. Musaev’s scientific interest includes: (a) Designing of predictive rules for development of new and more effective Stereoselective C-H bond functionalization strategies; (b) Designing solar energy-driven robust multi-electron-transfer catalysts for water splitting and fuel formation; (c) Understanding of fundamental principles of transition metal catalyst (including nano-scale catalysts) and photocatalyst promoted nitrogen fixation, hydrocarbon oxidation and borylation, olefin polymerization; (d) Elucidating mechanisms of enzymatic processes, and (e) Development of hybrid computational methods to study interfacial charge transfer dynamics. Among Jamal’s multiple awards are JSPS Sr. Fellowship (Japan), Tubitak Award (Turkey), and multiple visiting professorships in Spain, Germany and Japan. Jamal has published more than 4100 papers in peer-review journals, two books, and have presented more than 320+ invited talks in 22 countries.
