Professor Rob Comito is a New Jersey native where he got his Ph.D. at Princeton University under Nobel Prize winner Dave MacMillan working on chiral amine catalysis. Then, studied organometallic catalysis at the nodes of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the laboratory of Professor Mircea Dinca at MIT. Now, he is a professor at the University of Houston and his group's research interests are in main group and bimetallic catalysis for synthetic method development.
