Please join us in celebrating the life and scientific contributions of Stanford Chemist John I. Brauman, the J.G. Jackson and C.J. Wood Professor of Chemistry. 

During his 55-year career at Stanford, he served as a mentor to many and held several key positions, including Department Chair, Associate Dean for Natural Sciences, and Associate Dean of Research. 

John Brauman's research on chemical structure and reactivity changed the way people thought about chemistry, clarifying how solvents affect chemical stability and reactivity. John was a skilled and motivating teacher and mentor who had a profound impact on the lives and careers of generations of graduate students and chemists.

Amongst the many honors that he received over his lifetime was the National Medal of Science in 2002, membership in the National Academy of Sciences in 1976, the National Academy of Sciences Award in Chemical Science, and many awards from the American Chemical Society including the Linus Pauling Medal, Willard Gibbs Award, Harrison Howe Award, James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry, and the Award in Pure Chemistry.
