Marisa Kozlowski is a Professor of Chemistry at University of Pennsylvania. She received an A. B. in Chemistry from Cornell University and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley under the direction of Paul Bartlett. After studying asymmetric catalysis in the laboratories of David A. Evans at Harvard University as a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow, she joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. Kozlowski is the recipient of a number of awards including a DuPont Young Investigator Award, an NSF Career Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.
