Bio
K. N. Houk was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 27, 1943.
Professor Houk received the Akron American Chemical Society (ACS) Section Award in 1984. He was awarded the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award of the ACS in 1988, the James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry of the ACS in 1991, the Schrodinger Medal of the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists (WATOC) in 1998, the Tolman Medal of the Southern California Section of the ACS in 1999, the ACS Award for Computers in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2003, and the Arthur C. Cope Award of the ACS in 2009. He was awarded the Robert Robinson Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2012 and the UCLA Glenn T. Seaborg Medal in 2013.
Professor Houk is an authority on theoretical and computational organic chemistry. His group develops rules to understand reactivity, computationally models complex organic reactions, and experimentally tests the predictions of theory. He collaborates prodigiously with chemists all over the world. Among current interests are the theoretical investigations and design of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, the quantitative modeling of asymmetric reactions used in synthesis, the mechanisms and dynamics of pericyclic reactions and competing diradical processes, and the molecular dynamics and reactions of hemicarcerands and other host-guest complexes. He has published nearly 1100 articles in refereed journals and is among the 100 most-cited chemists.
