We are excited to welcome the new semester and our in-person program!
Dr. David Kaphan
Wednesday, September 18, 2024
225 Fenster Hall
323 Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd,
Newark, NJ, 07103
Dr. Kaphan obtained his BS from the University of Rochester and his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a Chemist in the Catalysis Group in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at Argonne National Laboratory and is affiliated as a Scientist in the UChicago Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering. David’s research concerns fundamental studies in supported organometallic catalysis, capture and conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and chemical upcycling of polymer waste. His primary area of research in supported organometallic catalysis focuses on understanding stereoelectronic communication between organometallic complexes and inorganic support materials that can be leveraged to modulate reactivity and the development of non-traditional functional materials as catalyst support frameworks.
Please RSVP for the upcoming meeting here.
In memoriam
John Byrne
John Byrne, a long serving director and treasurer for the NYCS, sadly passed away on August 10, 2022. John’s wife, Susan, suggested that because of John’s dedication and love for NYCS, that it would be fitting that if friends and colleagues wanted to make a donation in John’s name, one favorite cause of John’s would be to support the NYCS work.

Who we are
The Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York (CSNY) is a non-profit organization founded in 1958 to promote and encourage the growth and development of the science of catalysis in the New Jersey and Metro New York areas. CSNY is a local chapter of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS).
We organize 7 monthly professional dinner seminar meetings of scientists - to report, discuss, and exchange information and viewpoints in the field of catalysis. We also organize an all-day Annual Symposium in the spring which features lectures from distinguished researchers and a poster session presented by university students working in the catalysis area.
