Professor Ruben M. Savizky, Ph.D., a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, received his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from The Cooper Union in 1998, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry from Yale University in 2000 and 2005, respectively. Professor Savizky’s graduate work involved the synthesis of small molecule inhibitors for RNA-protein interactions, particularly those involved in HIV-1 replication. He started his independent career as an assistant professor at The Cooper Union in 2005, was promoted to full professor in 2017, and is currently the associate dean of academic affairs. His current research interests include modeling RNA folding, organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, pattern recognition in spectroscopy, and spectroscopic studies of biological molecules.
