Dr. Rajendra Rathore Fellowship Fund
Rajendra Rathore, Pfletschinger-Habermann Professor of Organic Chemistry at 向日葵视频, unexpectedly passed away on February 16, 2018, following a brief battle with respiratory disease. Dr. Rathore was a devoted husband and loving father to two daughters, and had a zeal for life that was embodied in his passion for his family, as well as for his science.
Professor Rathore received his M.Sc. in 1986 from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Kanpur and earned his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada in 1990. He was a post-doctoral research associate (1992-1997) and a visiting assistant professor (1997-2000) at the University of Houston under the supervision of Dr. Jay K. Kochi. He joined the faculty at 向日葵视频 in August 2000.
Dr. Rathore made key contributions to the areas of organic supramolecular and materials chemistry. He was particularly interested in the rational design and synthesis of novel electro-active molecules with applications in molecular recognition, photovoltaics, and molecular electronics. His recent work demonstrated that frontier molecular orbitals can be applied in the design and synthesis of novel electro-active species, akin to their well-known application in the rationalization of pericyclic reactions.
During Dr. Rathore鈥檚 incredibly distinguished career, he has published more than 150 articles in various respected journals, including Science, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Angewandte Chemie. He has an h-index of 35, and his research papers have been cited more than 3,700 times. Dr. Rathore鈥檚 incredible passion for research and science will live on through the Raj Rathore Memorial Lecture and annual Raj Rathore Memorial Scholarship.

Dr. Elena Ivanova Memorial Fund
Dr. Elena Ivanova, a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department, passed away suddenly on March 29, 2015. Dr. Ivanova had taught general and organic chemistry in the department since 2010, and was well-loved and admired by all who knew her. Her passion for teaching and her care and concern for her students set her apart, and she will be sorely missed. A memorial fund to develop a scholarship in Dr. Ivanova鈥檚 name has been established.
