Synthetic Methodology and Catalysis

Our research program spans several areas of organic chemistry, including photochemistry and photocatalysis, asymmetric catalysis, organosulfur and organoboron chemistry, natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry, as well as the chemistry of nitroxy compounds and nitrogen heterocycles. The unifying theme of our research is the development of simple and efficient synthetic methods that streamline access to complex organic molecules. We use a range of experimental and computational methods to gain mechanistic understanding and catalyze the discovery of new chemical reactivity.
