We are an interdisciplinary research group that aims to solve problems related to catalysis, energy sciences and sustainable chemical transformations.
We harness the power of electrons and holes as reagents in complex multi-step chemical transformations. At the same time, we use a variety of analytical tools to monitor the transformations in real time to inform reaction optimization and gain mechanistic understanding of processes we are studying.
Check out our latest paper on electrochemically-generated carbon radicals out in OBC and available here. Congratulations to Phil, Haley and Jackie!
