Kerry Gilmore is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut. He received B.S. degrees in Biology and Chemistry from Roger Williams University. He then attended Florida State University for graduate studies under the direction of Prof. Igor Alabugin where he re-examined the Baldwin rules for cyclization reactions. During graduate school he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship and worked for a year with Dr. Christoph Chatgilialoglu at the CNR in Bologna, Italy. He was a postdoctoral researcher with Profs. Tyler McQuade and Peter Seeberger at the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany, where he later ran the flow chemistry group for six years as a group leader and later promoted to W2 research group leader.His group at UConn currently focuses on the use of remotely accessible automated flow chemistry platforms and machine learning to better understand organic reaction mechanisms, facilitate reaction/process development, and increase global access to advanced technologies. Recent recognition for his work includes the 2021 ACS award for Affordable Green Chemistry.
