Research Interests

 The central theme of research in my laboratory is the rational design of new methods and catalysts for use in organic synthesis. As well as using high throughput screening, we employ several novel computational tools for the discovery and optimization of new reagents and catalysts. In addition, we study mechanism in order to improve reaction processes and increase our understanding of fundamental reaction steps. The new synthetic methods developed are deployed as key steps in our total synthesis strategies to a variety of important pharmaceutical agents and natural products.  For more information, see our group website using the link above.
