Biography

Professor Schomaker began her research career at Dow Chemical in Organic Chemicals and Polymers, later moving to Agricultural Chemicals Process Research, where she participated in route selection and scale-up campaigns for two new herbicides.

After 7 years in industry, she obtained her Ph.D. with Professor Babak Borhan at Michigan State University in 2006 before moving to UC-Berkeley as an NIH postdoctoral fellow under Professors Robert G. Bergman and F. Dean Toste. She joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2009, where she is a full professor.

Her research focuses on new methodologies for preparing stereochemically complex, densely functionalized amines, catalyst-controlled, tunable chemo- and site-selective C-H functionalizations, uncovering new reactivities catalyzed by first-row transition metals, total synthesis of bioactive natural and unnatural products, and development of new bioorthogonal labeling reagents.

Her awards include the NSF-CAREER, Sloan Research Fellowship, Thieme 浪花直播 Journal Award, ACS-WCC Rising Star Award, ACS DOC Early Academic Investigator Award, MSU Distinguished Alumni Award, and UW-Vilas Mid-Career and UW2020 Awards. She was named a 2016 Kavli Fellow and a 2019 Gabor A. and Judith K. Somorjai Miller Visiting Professor at UC-Berkeley.
