Biography

Milko van der Boom completed his B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and his M.Sc. degree in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam. In 1994, he enrolled as a doctoral student at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he studied Organometallic Chemistry; he was awarded his Ph.D. degree with distinction in 1999. After three years of postdoctoral work at Northwestern University, where he studied the formation of functional organic films, he returned as a faculty member to the Weizmann Institute’s Department of Organic Chemistry. His interdisciplinary materials chemistry research focuses on metalloorganic-oriented synthetic and mechanistic studies. Prof. van der Boom's prizes and honors include an Alon Fellowship from the Israel Council for Higher Education, the Henri Gutwirth Prize from the Technion, and the Israel Chemistry Society's Prize for Excellent Young Chemists. He is the first incumbent of the Bruce A. Pearlman Professional Chair.
