Research

Research in our group has focused on the development of new catalytic reactions and methods for organic synthesis. Ultimately, we are interested in applying these methods to synthesis of complex molecules possessing interesting structural, biological, and physical properties. Particularly, we are working on the the development of novel methods to access axially chiral biaryl compounds with structural diversity and application of these methods to the preparation of naturally occurring axially chiral biaryl compounds in enantioselective manners. As such, the research in our group spans the areas of catalysis including asymmetric catalysis and organic synthesis.
