研究领域

Organic

Theoretical and computational chemistry, solvent effects, ionic liquids, drug design, software development Our research program focuses upon the application and development of new computational tools that target organic and enzymatic catalyst design, alternative environmentally friendly solvent design, and drug discovery. Fundamental problems in organic and medicinal chemistry are probed, such as elucidation of enzymatic reactions, controlling enantioselectivity for chrial compounds, transition structure prediction, de novo drug design of high-affinity inhibitors, and origins of solvent effects.
