Biography

I am interested in organic and bioorganic chemistry, organometallic compounds, chirality, catalysis, and mechanochemistry. We develop new catalytic methodologies, using both transition metal catalysts as well as organocatalysts. We synthesize interesting chiral compounds such as drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates. We often apply mechanochemical activation, and green chemistry methodologies.
