Draft:Dave Powers
| Submission declined on 23 March 2024 by KylieTastic (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Early Life and Education[edit]
David Powers was born in Allentown, PA in 1983 and completed his undergraduate studies at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. There, he engaged in research alongside Professor Phyllis Leber, exploring gas-phase hydrocarbon isomerization reactions. In 2006, Dave embarked on his graduate journey at Harvard University under the mentorship of Professor Tobias Ritter, delving into the realm of metal–metal redox cooperation in C–H oxidation catalysis.
Professional Career[edit]
Following the attainment of his Ph.D. in 2011, Dave furthered his academic pursuits as an NIH post-doctoral fellow in Professor Daniel Nocera's research group, situated jointly at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. During this tenure, his focus shifted towards molecular photocatalysis for solar energy conversion. Dave currently is a professor of organic chemistry at Texas A&M University. His research group, made up of 20+ researchers, focuses on organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemistry. Currently, Powers is particularly interested in sustainable synthesis reactions replacing metal catalysis with strong oxidants.[1] He is also cited as an author in over 100 publications with over 3,000 collective citations for a broad range of organic, organometallic, and inorganic synthesis.[2]
Awards[edit]
Powers has won several awards such as the National Institutes of Health Outstanding Investigator Award.[3] Other awards given to Powers include the DOE Early Career Award, and the NSF CAREER Award.[1][4] Powers was also selected as the 2019 ACS Organic Division Academic Young Investigator, Montague-Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar, and most recently, as a 2020 Alfred P. Sloan Fellow.[1]
