Organic Materials, Polymer Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry

In our lab, we work on the synthesis and study of organic compounds with interesting optical and photochemical properties. We also study organometallic polymerization catalysts, species that stitch small molecules together to form large ones. Finally, we design, synthesize, and study polymeric materials with unique structures and properties.
