Biography
New York University Abu Dhabi
Tynchtyk Amatov was born in Kyrgyzstan and studied chemistry at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, where he obtained his BSc and MSc degrees in Chemistry. Afterward, he went to Prague, Czech Republic, for his PhD studies at Charles University and IOCB Prague with Ullrich Jahn. There he developed radical methodologies for the synthesis of complex natural products. He later moved to Germany and worked with Thomas Carell at LMU Munich in the field of origin of life research. In Munich, he also collaborated with Hendrik Zipse on his findings during his PhD training to uncover a unique homolytic bond activation mechanism by amide bond geometry distortion. Prior to joining NYUAD, Amatov worked at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, with Benjamin List in the field of asymmetric organocatalysis.
Amatov's research at NYUAD focuses on catalysis in a broad sense. His team seeks to discover and develop new sustainable methods and processes and enabling molecular technologies for applications in natural product synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.
