We are a group of chemistry researchers developing metal catalysts for renewable energy and environmental applications. We also study folding dynamics of metalloproteins relating to disease.

A central theme in our research is catalyst design based on mechanistic understanding at the molecular level. Our current research emphases are in the areas of catalysis, renewable energy, and bioinorganic chemistry.

One of the group's hallmarks is our ability to make and measure. We synthesize new compounds, characterize them, study their reaction chemistry, and measure kinetics to elucidate reaction mechanisms. Students and postdoctoral scholars tailor their own projects and interact extensively with their colleagues.
