Eric Kelson, PhD

Eric Kelson is professor of Chemistry at California State University, Northridge, where he conducts research and teaches in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. Kelson earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah before completing his Ph.D. in inorganic and organometallic chemistry at the California Institute of Technology in 1989. His doctoral research examined the electrocatalytic and stoichiometric oxidation chemistry of binuclear ruthenium complexes incorporating anionic tripod ligands—work at the intersection of coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and small-molecule activation.
