Current Research: We are working on a variety of interdisciplinary research projects ranging from catalysis to supramolecular materials and to nanobiotechnology. While addressing fundamental chemical problems, our research efforts are highly relevant to important societal issues such as environment and sustainability, catalysis; alternative renewable energy, biofuels and solar cells; and human health, nanobiotechnology and metallopharmaceuticals.
