Synthetic Organic Chemistry and the Nobel Prize, Volume 2

After completing his PhD, he took a position as a postdoctoral research associate at The Johns Hopkins University in Prof. Gary H. Posner¿s lab. There, Dr. D¿Angelo worked on the development of artemisinin derivatives as anti-malarial and anti-toxoplasma gondii derivatives. In 2007, Dr. D¿Angelo accepted a position at Alfred University at the rank of Assistant Professor, and in 2013, he was awarded tenure and promotion to the rank of Associate Professor at Alfred and awarded promotion to Professor in July 2021. Dr. John G. D¿Angelös research continued for a while to focus on the chemical reactivity of conducting polymers and has been expanded to pedagogical research and scientific ethics; the latter two now the focus of his research efforts. He served as the local ACS section (Corning) chair in 2014 and 2021 and as the Faculty Senate president for two consecutive terms serving in this capacity from 2014 to 2018 and became Chair of the Chemistry Division at Alfred in 2021.

He is also the author of four books. One, on scientific misconduct, is in its second edition, and the second book on scientific misconduct is intended to be a workbook with hypothetical cases that students can work through. The third book, written with his PhD advisor, outlines a process for using the chemical search engine Reaxys to teach reactions, and the fourth book is a now discontinued organic chemistry textbook published through the web-based publisher Top Hat. He is also an author of 13 peer-reviewed publications (three in his independent career) and two patents. This four-volume series on organic chemistry and the Nobel Prize is his latest authoring endeavor.
