Jack Halpern is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Chemist known for the mechanisms of homogeneous catalysis
Jack Halpern was a Polish-born chemist, long at the University of Chicago, who elucidated the reaction mechanisms of homogeneous catalysis and organometallic chemistry, work central to industrial and asymmetric catalysis. His mechanistic studies underpinned advances in catalytic hydrogenation. He was born into a Jewish family in Łódź and emigrated as a child to Canada.
