Kerry Betz

Kerry is currently an NSF Graduate Fellow in Prof. Justin Du Bois’s lab at Stanford University. Her research focuses on expanding the capabilities of C-H amination reactions through novel catalyst design and applications to total synthesis. Prior to attending Stanford, she received a B.S. with honors in chemistry from Caltech, where she won the Friends of the Caltech Library Thesis Prize for her work in the lab of Prof. Robert Grubbs on alkali-metal-catalyzed C-H silylation. Outside of lab, Kerry enjoys painting, playing music (violin, mandolin), and the outdoors (hiking, rock climbing and camping).
