APPLIED MOLECULAR RECOGNITION 

My laboratory works at the interfaces of organic/inorganic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and chemical biology. This interdisciplinary environment affords many opportunities to collaborate and apply concepts of molecular recognition. We develop novel uses for noncovalent interactions creating foldamer molecules with higher-order helical structure and new organocatalysts. These molecules are applied to outstanding and socially relevant problems in chemistry. To reach our targets we employ preparative and analytical techniques including; organic/organometallic synthesis, crystallography, computations, UV-Vis, fluorescence and NMR. When successful we will transform how molecular design is approached with focus on noncovalent interactions.
