Research Interests

Synthetic Organic Chemistry: Focused on the design and execution of complex organic reactions for the synthesis of bioactive molecules and natural products. 

Metal-Catalyzed Reactions: Specializing in the use of metal catalysts (e.g., silver) to construct complex heterocyclic compounds, such as pyranoquinolines and naphthyridines. 

Heterocyclic Chemistry: Elucidating mechanisms and pathways to synthesize heterocyclic scaffolds with broad functional group tolerance. 

Natural Product Synthesis: Working on the synthesis and derivatization of natural products like Samoquasine A, with potential pharmaceutical applications. 

Porous Organic Polymers: Involved in collaborative research on porous organic photopolymers for CO2 fixation. 

Green Chemistry: Development of environmentally benign methods, including the use of alcohols and water as nucleophiles, for regioselective synthesis. 

Mechanistic Studies: Investigation of reaction mechanisms and intermediates to enhance the understanding of catalytic and synthetic processes.
