研究领域

Our research is focussed on understanding how organic processes happen and what affects reaction outcomes. Particularly this encompasses examining how structural features in both the reagents themselves and the solvent used can change how a reaction proceeds. This knowledge can then be applied to a range of fields, including bioorganic, synthetic, analytical and environmental chemistry. Being particularly interdisciplinary, there is extensive opportunity for collaboration and this is currently underway in the areas of catalysis, reaction kinetics, synthesis and molecular dynamics simulations.
