19th Symmetry Webinar
Chemistry: Symmetry/Asymmetry
Symmetry and asymmetry represent a special field in chemistry. What are the typical subfields in this discipline?
Certainly asymmetric molecules, optical activity, racemates, resolution into enantiomers, enantioselective syntheses, chiral P-ligands, symmetry elements, X-ray crystallography, theoretical calculations, molecular orbitals are the most important components of this field.
The intention of the management of Symmetry (Chemical Section is to popularize this limited segment of chemistry, and to get closer the scientists.
I do hope this short webinar will promote the development of the related field.

Prof. Dr. George O'Doherty
College of Science, Northeastern University, USA;
George O’Doherty was born in Kilkenny Ireland in 1966, the son of two organic chemist. The went on to pursue the family business, receiving his undergraduate degree in 1987 from RPI working in the labs of Professor Alan R. Cutler. After earning his Ph.D. with Professor Leo A. Paquette at OSU in 1993 he pursued postdoctoral studies with first Professor Barry M. Trost at Stanford and the Anthony G. M. Barrett. He began his independent career at University of Minnesota in 1996 and in 2002, he moved to West Virginia University. He moved again in 2010, to Northeastern University where he has risen to the rank of Professor. His laboratory is interested in the use of asymmetric catalysis for the synthesis and medicinal chemistry study of biological important carbohydrate and natural products. These stereodivergent asymmetric syntheses enable novel Stereochemical-Structure Activity Relationship (S-SAR) studies of natural structures that nature in general does not provide.
Prof. Dr. Svetlana Tsogoeva
Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany;
Svetlana B. Tsogoeva graduated with Distinction from St. Petersburg State University, where she completed her doctoral thesis supported by Procter & Gamble. After postdoctoral research at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, she joined in July 2000 the Degussa AG Fine Chemicals Division. She was appointed in January 2002 as the first Junior Professor in Germany at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen, and in February 2007, as a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Her research spans topics from catalysis to medicinal chemistry. She is an Editorial/Advisory Board Member for ACS Med. Chem. Lett, Pharmaceuticals, Scientific Reports, Symmetry, and ChemPhysChem. In 2024, she was appointed Senior Editor for the ACS's flagship journal, ACS Central Science.

The webinar was entirely dedicated to the subject of nonlinear differential and integral equations. Special attention was paid to infinite systems of differential and integral equations. Particularly, the basic and essential facts concerning those systems were presented in order to enable participans to become familiar with that new branch of the theory of equations in questions.
