Liviu Mirica

Liviu M. Mirica is the Janet and William H. Lycan Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, known for his work in organometallic chemistry and nickel-based catalysis. He was elected in 2018 as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and in 2022 as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His research interests include using synthetic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry to study novel transition metal complexes with applications for sustainable catalysis. He has also worked on developing bifunctional diagnostic and therapeutic agents for amyloid-beta-related disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, while continuing to investigate the roles of transition metal ions in neurodegenerative diseases.
