Karl M. Kadish (born 1945) is an American chemist. He is currently Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen University Professor at the University of Houston. [1]
Dr. Kadish received his B.S. from the University of Michigan in 1967 and his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in 1970. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Louisiana State University, New Orleans (LSUNO), he spent one year as Chargé de Research at the University of Paris VI in France. He was an assistant professor at California State University, Fullerton from 1972 to 1976 and has been at the University of Houston since 1976, where he holds the position of Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen University Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Dr. Kadish has also held visiting professorships at Osaka University (Japan), the University of Sydney (Australia), the California Institute of Technology, the University of Rome, the University of Dijon, (France), Ecole Superieure de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon (ESCIL)(France) and Université Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France) [2] [3]
He has published over 600 research papers, the majority of which are on topics related to porphyrins, phthalocyanines, corroles and related macrocycles, while also editing more than 95 books on these topics and directing a research group, which, in total, has numbered over 125 different graduate students and postdoctoral associates. [2] He is the founder and first president of the Fullerenes Division of the Electrochemical Society [4] and since 1994 has organized or co-organized more than 25 symposia on the topic of fullerenes and carbon nanomaterials. He was a co-organizer of the first (2000), third (2004), sixth (2010), ninth (2016) and eleventh (2020) International Conference on Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines. Dr. Kadish is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines [5] and also serves as president of the Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines (SPP), a position he has held continuously since June 2000.

Porphyrins are a group of heterocyclic, macrocyclic, organic compounds, composed of four modified pyrrole subunits interconnected at their α carbon atoms via methine bridges. In vertebrates, an essential member of the porphyrin group is heme, which is a component of hemoproteins, whose functions include carrying oxygen in the bloodstream. In plants, an essential porphyrin derivative is chlorophyll, which is involved in light harvesting and electron transfer in photosynthesis.
Phthalocyanine is a large, aromatic, macrocyclic, organic compound with the formula (C8H4N2)4H2 and is of theoretical or specialized interest in chemical dyes and photoelectricity.
South Point is a higher-secondary co-educational private school located in Kolkata, West Bengal and affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education, consisting of three organisations – South Point School, South Point High School and South Point Education Society. The school operates in two shifts for all classes – Morning and Afternoon. The school opened in 1954, and was the first co-educational school in Kolkata. Higher Secondary (10+2) education was introduced in 1960. Initially operation as a single unit, the school split into two buildings with the high school shifting to Ballygunge Place in 1980. It is claimed to be the only school in Kolkata to have a Nobel Laureate as an alumnus. It is regarded by many as one of the best schools in Kolkata.
Lennart Johnsson is a Swedish computer scientist and engineer.
St. Lawrence High School is a private Catholic primary and secondary school for boys, located in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. The school was founded in 1810 and run by the Jesuits, initially in Baithakhana, Sealdah, as an elementary school which came to be known as St. John Chrysostom School. It was renamed in January 1937 by Fr. Lawrence Rodriques, S.J. as St. Lawrence High School. The school caters for approximately 1600 students.
Published by World Scientific, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science: With Applications to Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine is a multi-volume reference set edited by scientists Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard. The first ten volumes were published in 2010 and the next ten are expected to be published in 2011.
The Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines (JPP) is a scientific journal that covers developments in the research and technology of porphyrins and phthalocyanines.
The Department of Physics at the University of Houston is a department of the University of Houston College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics performing research traditional fields such as High Energy Physics and Condensed Matter Physics, Material Science, and Biological Physics, but also topics like Seismic and Medical Imaging. With its physics program, the University of Houston physics department placed 60 in the 2010 United States National Research Council rankings. The Department works together closely with the Texas Center for Superconductivity.
Arthur Weglein is an American seismologist. He is the Hugh Roy & Lillie Cranz Cullen distinguished professor of physics at the University of Houston, and director of its Mission-oriented Seismic Research Program. He received the Townsend Harris Medal of the City College of New York in 2008 for his contributions to seismology. He received the Reginald Fessenden Award of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2010. He received the Maurice Ewing Medal of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2016.
Tavarekere Kalliah Chandrashekar is an Indian bioinorganic chemist and a former director of the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, a CSIR subsidiary.

Transition metal porphyrin complexes are a family of coordination complexes of the conjugate base of porphyrins. Iron porphyrin complexes occur widely in Nature, which has stimulated extensive studies on related synthetic complexes. The metal-porphyrin interaction is a strong one such that metalloporphyrins are thermally robust. They are catalysts and exhibit rich optical properties, although these complexes remain mainly of academic interest.
