009-present, Associate Professor, Washington University in St. Louis 2003-2009, Assistant Professor, Washington University in St. Louis 2000-2003, Postdoctoral Associate, Columbia University

研究领域

Acyl transfer catalysis/Asymmetric catalysis/Enantioselective oxidation/Hypervalent iodine reagents/Nonenzymatic kinetic resolution/Organic Chemistry/Organic Synthesis/Organocatalysis/Total synthesis of natural products/

Our group's research efforts range from total synthesis of bioactive natural products to asymmetric catalysis. In summary, we are interested both in devising concise and efficient strategies for synthesizing complex molecules and in designing simple molecules possessing desired chemical properties.
