Assistant Professor

Department of Chemistry

Dr. Jason Hein received his B.Sc. in biochemistry at the University of Manitoba in 2000. In 2005, he completed his Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry as an NSERC PGS scholar under Professor Philip G. Hultin at the same institution. He then moved to the Scripps Research Institute as an NSERC postdoctoral fellow supervised by Professors K. Barry Sharpless and Valery V. Fokin. In 2010, he became a senior research associate with Professor Donna G. Blackmond at Scripps. He began his independent career at the University of California, Merced in 2011 where his work focused on employing in situ kinetic reaction analysis as a means to rapidly profile and study complex networks of reactions. In 2015, he moved to the University of British Columbia to continue the development of reaction analytical techniques to further mechanistic organic chemistry.

  • Reactions Mechanism Conference 2018 (RMC 2018)

    June 10-13, 2018

  • Accelerate Conference 2024

    August 6-9, 2024

  • The Reaction Mechanism Conference is a biennial conference which serves as a forum to discuss the broad aspect of structures and reaction mechanisms, across the fields of organic, inorganic, biological and physical chemistry. This past year, RMC was held at the University of British Columbia June 10th-13th, with Dr. Hein as the local organizer.

  • The Accelerate Consortium Conference 2024 was held at the UBC Vancouver Campus from August 6-9, 2024. Accelerate was an interdisciplinary event that brought together changemakers from academia, industry, and government who are shaping the emerging field of AI for science. The event focused on using AI and automation to reduce the time and cost of bringing materials to market, such as sorbents to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, membranes for water filtration, and molecules to treat cancer and antimicrobial-resistant diseases.
