Clyde was born in 2002 and grew up in South Lake Tahoe, California. He attended Columbia University and graduated with a B.A. in Chemistry and Astronomy. At Columbia, he worked with Prof. Tomislav Rovis on photocatalytic methods for radical generation and elaboration, with an emphasis on iridium-catalyzed C-H alkylation at β-tertiary positions of silanes and boronic esters. In the fall of 2024, he moved to Berkeley and joined the Hartwig group to pursue his interests in transition-metal catalysis and C-H functionalization.
