Alison Wendlandt

Alison Wendlandt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on the development of selective, catalytic reactions through organic/organometallic synthesis and physical organic chemistry. Mechanistic study is central to her work, with projects involving the design of new catalysts, identification of applications for selective catalytic processes, and elucidation of mechanistic principles. Her group emphasizes synthetic organic chemistry, reaction kinetics, and mechanistic study.
