The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is pleased to announce our two newest hires, Ramesh Jasti and James Prell.

Prof. Jasti and his group will move to Oregon this summer where he will be an Associate Professor in the organic/inorganic division. Jasti started his career at Boston University where he pioneered the field of cycloparaphenylene chemistry (carbon “nanohoops”).

Dr. Prell will start this summer as an Assistant Professor in the physical chemistry division. He is currently finishing his postdoctoral work at the University of California at Berkeley. At Oregon Prell will utilize state-of-the-art mass spectrometry techniques to examine biological processes.
