The Group
The Group
We value hard work, creativity, balance, honesty, and authenticity.
We love clusters, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, crystallography, and studying reactive transition metal complexes.
We leverage modern methodologies and develop our own to expand horizons and accelerate innovation in inorganic disciplines.
We believe in fostering a psychologically safe environment for maximizing experimental safety, work productivity, and scientific creativity.
We believe in the power of giving as a way of letting our own successes ripple into the broader community.
We believe that diversity makes the scientific community stronger, but we recognize that many individuals continue to suffer from marginalization as a result of identities.
We are committed to taking steps to actively overcome the effects of our own biases and heal through community engagement.
