Our research is primarily directed toward the development of innovative catalytic systems that enable green, sustainable, and atom-economical methodologies for the synthesis of fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and complex bioactive molecules. We design and implement both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic strategies, with an emphasis on first-row transition metal complexes and metal-free systems, to construct complex molecular architectures from simple and renewable precursors. Our key goal is to enable platform molecule generation and late-stage diversification of pharmacologically relevant scaffolds through catalytic protocols that align with the principles of green chemistry.

The major research areas we focus on are:

• First-row transition metal and metal-free catalysis
• Photocatalysis and photoredox-mediated transformations

Asymmetric catalysis and chiral platform development
