Our Research
We are recruiting a diverse team of scientists to push the boundaries of organic chemistry. Although our research is guided foremost by our curiosity and imagination, we also share a desire to confront the greatest scientific challenges of 21st century society, including energy, sustainability, and health.
To face these global problems, we will bring to bear an ever-expanding repertoire of techniques including organic and inorganic synthesis, spectroscopy, computation, device fabrication, and chemical sensing. Some examples of our interests are shown below – please check back frequently as our investigations evolve!
New Rules for Reactivity
We aim to realize unprecedented elementary processes involving organic molecules — and to weave these steps into catalytic technologies for efficient and sustainable chemical synthesis.
Carbon Art
We are devising unconventional schemes for assembling atomically-precise carbon materials that display unique physics (optical, electronic, and magnetic).
Seeing the Invisible
We want to understand how the most important transformations of modern chemistry work. We use exotic vibrational effects to spy on reactive species and their inclinations.
