Professor David Goldberg was named to the most recent class of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellows. AAAS recognizes scholars for their contributions to chemistry as well as biological, pharmaceutical, and medical sciences.

His research focuses on employing synthetic inorganic chemistry to answer fundamental questions regarding structure, spectroscopy, and reactivity pertinent to bioinorganic chemistry. Goldberg is recognized for distinguished contributions in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, particularly for modeling the structures and reactivity of metalloenzyme active sites and development of transition metal mediated small molecule activation and catalysis.
