Timothy A. Goetjen holds a B.A. in both Chemistry and Computer Science from Rutgers University – New Brunswick and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University, in both the Farha and Hupp research groups in the Chemistry Department. His research projects involve the development of new metal–organic framework materials for energy relevant gas-phase catalysis and the subsequent study of structure-activity relationships within those reactions. He is a junior member of the Inorganometallic Catalyst Design Center (ICDC) EFRC, and serves as a DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) Early Career Network Representative, where he helps organize cross-BES Center activities for early career scientists. Within his own department at Northwestern, Tim is passionate about giving back to his graduate student community. He is active in Chemistry Department graduate student organizations, serving as treasurer for the Phi Lambda Upsilon (PLU) honors society and secretary for the Graduate Liaison Committee (GLC).
