Research summary
AI-generated

Jeremy M. Smith studies how metal-containing molecules (especially iron, but also nickel and manganese) can drive useful chemical reactions. A major focus is designing metal complexes that transfer atoms like oxygen or nitrogen and that act as catalysts, including electrocatalysts for converting nitrogen oxyanions (such as nitrite) and reducing oxygen. The work combines synthesizing new compounds, determining their structures, and studying how they react.

Publication output was higher in the late 2010s and early 2020s (peaking around 18-19 per year) and has been lower and relatively steady in recent years, averaging about 8 per year over the last five years.

Public award records

Current awards run through June 2027 — about under a year of funding on record from today. Awards are often renewed, so this is what is currently public, not a forecast.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
