研究领域

Organic Chemistry/Inorganic Chemistry

Our research interests are strongly rooted in creative chemical synthesis. This is an intentionally broad description. Since we draw no boundaries between inorganic and organic chemistry, we work with elements from all over the periodic table. The overall goal of our program is to develop novel and creative chemical solutions to the most urgent and challenging unsolved problems in synthetic chemistry. One of the most prominent themes in our group is catalyst design, which can allow for the development of novel chemical transformations that are useful for industries ranging from energy to pharma, and thus the general public.
