Chemistry graduate student Emmanuel Maloba, a Ph.D. student in Professor Maleczka’s group, has just been awarded a 2022 Pfizer Travel Award from the Committee on Minority Affairs of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The award comes with a $2000 stipend to support Emmanuel’s travel to the spring ACS National meeting in San Diego, CA where he is scheduled to give an oral presentation entitled, “Studies on [1,2]-carbon to carbon silyl migration of α-hydroxy allyl silanes: a new access to α-silyl ketones and aldehydes”. As part of the award he has also been invited to a reception honoring the 50th Anniversary of the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) being hosted by the ACS Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Respect. Emmanuel has also been asked to present a poster on his research at that reception.
