Welcome to the Automated Flow Systems Laboratory! 

We tackle challenges involving complex chemical systems, employing automation, flow chemistry, reaction kinetics, microfluidics, and machine learning to understand and control chemical reaction dynamics. 

Current Research


My research focuses on understanding and controlling chemical reaction dynamics and catalysis. To achieve this, I leverage microreactor technology, induction and radio frequency heating, automated flow chemical platforms, and machine learning. I have designed multiphase microreactor systems coupled with unconventional heating methods, such as induction heating, to control catalysis. I developed an automated flow platform to investigate and control one of the most complex chemistries: chemical glycosylation. Additionally, I designed an automated chemical synthesizer capable of multistep synthesis with programmable reconfigurability. I have also applied machine learning algorithms to data from automated flow chemical platforms, integrating DFT calculations, to predict stereoselective outcomes in chemical glycosylation and optimize reaction conditions.
