Biography: Jon Antilla was born and raised in a small town called Republic, in the State of Michigan in United States of America. He received his BS degree in chemistry at Northern Michigan University studying under Professor Jerome A. Roth until 1995. He completed his PhD degree from University of Chicago in 2000 with William D. Wulff, and then joined the research lab of Stephen L. Buchwald at MIT for an NIH NCI postdoctoral fellowship from 2000-2003. In 2003 he started his independent career at The University of Mississippi and continued his work at The University of South Florida since 2005, where he achieved a full professor of chemistry (in 2016). Jon has also had full-time positions at Tianjin University and Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in China (2017-2023), where he both lead a research team and managed curriculum development (Tianjin) and was the head of the organic division (Zhejiang). Jon had a visiting Professor role in USA (in 2023) at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and was also Department Chairman in the Louisiana State University at Shreveport in 2024.

生平：Jon Antilla出生于美国密歇根州的里帕布利克（Republic）小镇。他于1995年在北密歇根大学（Northern Michigan University）获得化学学士学位，师从Jerome A. Roth教授。2000年，他在芝加哥大学（University of Chicago）取得博士学位，师从William D. Wulff教授。2000-2003年，加入麻省理工学院（MIT）Stephen L. Buchwald教授的研究实验室，担任美国国立卫生研究院国家癌症研究所（NIH NCI）博士后研究员。2003年，在密西西比大学（University of Mississippi）开启独立科研生涯。2005年起转至南佛罗里达大学（University of South Florida）工作，并于2016年晋升为化学系正教授。2017至2023年间，他在中国天津大学和浙江理工大学担任全职教授，期间在天津主导研究团队并负责课程体系开发，在浙江担任有机学科负责人。2023年，他于美国宾夕法尼亚州理海大学（Lehigh University）担任访问教授，并于2024年出任路易斯安那州立大学什里夫波特分校（Louisiana State University at Shreveport）化学系主任。

Research:

Jon’s research has largely centered on organocatalysis, the use of small organic (non-metal based) molecules as catalysts. Organocatalysis is considered by many to be an attractive, and potential “green” alternative to traditional metal-based catalysis. His research specifically seeks to develop new reaction methodologies that utilize chiral phosphoric acids and their chiral phosphate metal catalysts for synthetically useful transformations. More recently his group’s focus on sustainable chemistry also includes the use of non-toxic, environmentally benign, and abundant metals partnered with the chiral phosphates he has developed as ligands

研究方向：Jon教授的研究主要聚焦于有机催化（organocatalysis）领域，即利用小型有机分子（非金属基）作为催化剂。有机催化被广泛认为是一种极具吸引力且潜在的“绿色”替代方案，可取代传统金属基催化技术。他的研究致力于开发新型反应方法学，利用手性磷酸（chiral phosphoric acids）及其衍生的手性磷酸金属催化剂（chiral phosphate metal catalysts），实现具有合成价值的化学转化。近年来，其课题组进一步拓展至可持续化学方向，探索以无毒、环境友好且储量丰富的金属与其开发的手性磷酸配体结合的新型催化体系。Jon教授已发表论文70余篇，H指数为44，被引次数超过9100次。
