Marisa C. Kozlowski (born 1967) is an American chemist who is Professor of Organic and Catalysis Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research considers asymmetric synthesis and the development of cost effective catalysts. She was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2012 and American Chemical Society in 2013.
Early life and education
Kozlowski was born in Hamburg, and raised in Liverpool, New York.{{Cite web|title=Kozlowski research group|url=https://www.mckgroup.org/|access-date=2021-02-09|website=Kozlowski research group|language=en-US}} She studied chemistry at Cornell University.{{Cite journal|last1=Sanford|first1=Melanie S.|last2=Chiu|first2=Pauline|last3=Kozlowski|first3=Marisa C.|last4=Puchlopek-Dermenci|first4=Angela L.

As an undergraduate, she only knew of one woman member of faculty, and as a postgraduate only two. Her research considered the design of enzyme inhibitors.{{Cite thesis|title=Inhibition studies of three related chorismate-utilizing enzymes: Rigid tendamistat mimics as a-amylase inhibitors|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34184933|date=1994|language=English|first=Marisa C|last=Kozlowski|oclc=34184933}} She moved to Harvard University as a postdoctoral research fellow, where she worked with David A. Evans on organic synthesis.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}
Research and career
In 1997, Kozlowski joined the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was eventually promoted to professor of chemistry. Kozlowski studies asymmetric high throughput synthesis and novel approaches to catalysis.{{Cite web|title=HTE experimentation|url=https://www.mckgroup.org/hte-experimentation|access-date=2021-02-09|website=Kozlowski research group|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|title=Oxidative C-C Couplings|url=https://www.mckgroup.org/oxidative-c-c-couplings|access-date=2021-02-09|website=Kozlowski research group|language=en-US}} She has developed computational programs to better understand chemical reactions. These programs make use of machine learning and electronic structure calculations to iteratively design new synthesis protocols.{{Cite web|title=Computer Guided Development of Reactions|url=https://www.mckgroup.org/computations|access-date=2021-02-09|website=Kozlowski research group|language=en-US}}
