Roger Arthur Sheldon (born 1942) FRS[2] FRSC is Professor Emeritus of Biocatalysis and Organic Chemistry at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.[11][12][13][14][15][16]

Education

Sheldon was educated at the University of Leicester where he was awarded a PhD in 1967 for research on the chemical reactions of the organophosphorus compound tetraphenyldiphosphine.[4][17]

Awards and honours

Sheldon was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. His certificate of election reads: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Roger Sheldon is distinguished for his pioneering and wide-ranging contributions to catalytic oxidation, biocatalysis and green chemistry and for bridging the traditional gap between organic synthesis and catalysis. He introduced the concept of the E-factor which is now used by companies globally for assessing the efficiency and environmental impact of chemical processes. He has consistently emphasized the need for a new paradigm in the evaluation of efficiency in chemical processes from the traditional concept of chemical yield to one that assigns value to waste minimisation and is an avid proponent of elegance and precision in organic synthesis.[2]
