Geoffrey (Geoff) Coates is an American chemist and the Tisch University Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University.[1][2]

Education

Coates received a B.A. degree in Chemistry from Wabash College in 1989. He entered graduate school at Stanford University where he worked with Robert M. Waymouth. His thesis work investigated the stereoselectivity of metallocene-based Ziegler-Natta catalysts.[3] He was awarded a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1994. Coates then was a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow with Robert H. Grubbs at the California Institute of Technology.[4] In 1997 Coates joined the faculty of Cornell University.[5]

Selected honors and professional activities

Coates has received numerous awards for his work in organometallic and polymer chemistry.[6]

Entrepreneurship and affiliations

Coates is the scientific cofounder of Novomer, Intermix Performance Materials, and Ecolectro, and is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of KensaGroup. Coates is an Associate Editor of Macromolecules.
