Research Interests
We conduct research in a number of areas, all involving organic synthesis as either a tool or an objective. Click on the bubbles below to learn more.
Based upon our experiences in working with ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and organic peroxides we have also posted some lab safety documents which may be useful to those new to these reagents.
Keywords: Organic synthesis, peroxide, hydroperoxide, ozone, oxidations, amphiphile, nanohybrid functional materials, bioanalytical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology.
