Dr. Jonah Jurss

Jonah W. Jurss obtained a B.S. in Chemistry from North Carolina State University and earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. At UNC, he studied water oxidation catalysis with ruthenium polypyridyl complexes under the direction of Prof. Thomas J. Meyer and Prof. Joseph L. Templeton. After postdoctoral research on electrocatalytic hydrogen generation with Prof. Christopher J. Chang at the University of California, Berkeley, Jonah began his independent career at the University of Mississippi in July 2014 where his group focuses on developing and understanding new molecular catalysts for renewable energy applications and C-H bond functionalization.
