Our lab will conduct research at the interface of organic, organometallic, physical organic, and computational chemistry.
We aim to develop sustainable catalytic methods by designing ligands that enable Earth-abundant metals to rival or surpass the performance of precious metals in catalysis.
By integrating mechanistic studies with data science and machine learning, we will accelerate ligand discovery, reveal fundamental structure–reactivity relationships, and uncover general principles that guide the design of improved catalysts and the discovery of new reactions.
We are currently seeking PhD students in the general area of organic, catalysis, organometallic chemistry. Interested students are can email Prof. Hazra with CV containing past research/experimental experience, and area of interest.
