Eric V. Anslyn
Eric V. Anslyn (born June 9, 1960, Santa Monica, California) is an American chemist and a University Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. He previously held the Norman Hackerman Professorship and the Welch Regents Chair.[citation needed] In 2007, he was also made an Honorary Professor at East China University of Science and Technology.[1][2][3] Prof. Anslyn is co-author of Modern Physical Organic Chemistry, an introductory graduate textbook.[4]
Impact[]
Prof. Anslyn is notable for his work in developing designed receptors and sensor arrays by incorporating principal component analysis and discriminant analysis to mimic human taste and smell.[5][6][7] Prof. Anslyn developed a colorimetric sensor to distinguish flavonoids (hydrolysis products of tannins) between varietals of red wines. An analogous colorimetric sensor was developed to mimic human taste by positioning polymer microbeads on a silicon chip.[citation needed] In related research, Prof. Anslyn designed a fluorometric chemical sensor consisting of a light-tight lego box and a smart phone to detect nerve agents such as VX and sarin.[citation needed]
Awards[]
Prof. Anslyn received one of the American Chemical Society Arthur C. Cope Scholar Awards awarded in 2006 for his research in pattern recognition and supramolecular chemistry[8] and the Izatt-Christensen Award in Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry in 2013.[9]
