Research Interests
My Research interests focus on studies of complex catalytic organic reactions, with emphasis on application in pharmaceutical processes. Detailed kinetic and mechanistic investigations in our group aim to blend the quantitative aspects of chemical engineering together with organic chemistry to achieve a fundamental understanding of complex catalytic reaction networks, particularly in asymmetric catalysis. Our experimental focus is on reaction progress kinetic analysis, a methodology that combines the collection of accurate experimental data via a variety of in-situ tools for continuous reaction monitoring together with kinetic modelling in order to propose and test mechanistic models for reaction networks.
