Our Researches

The fundamental principle of our research is to invent new reaction modes and unique catalytic systems for sustainable organic synthesis. We aim to achieve this in as an original way as possible, not only by harnessing our expertise in organic chemistry but also by interdisciplinary approaches involving organometallic, biological, and computational chemistry as additional tools. The main focus is placed on the development of cost-effective and atom-economical organic reactions that would address the environmental issues we currently face in chemical industries.
