Research Overview

Our research program centers around organic and organometallic chemistry, with a special focus on applying cheminformatics tools and interpretable machine learning algorithms to make predictions about reaction outcomes and molecular properties. Specific areas of interest include uncovering structure-reactivity relationships in sustainable metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, and investigating reaction mechanisms using NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Students will learn to make molecules in the lab, measure their properties, and use modern computational and data science tools to predict how they will react. Research projects will often be highly collaborative, and may be fully computational, fully experimental, or integrate both laboratory and modeling techniques depending on the project direction and the interests of the student involved.
