Metal-oxo reactions: By using computations we are investigating the Mn, Os, and Ru-mediated oxidative cyclization of 1,5-dienes to understand the role of metal-oxo intermediates in these reactions. We aim to develop new and efficient synthetic methods for the construction of complex molecules using this approach.

Gold(I)-catalyzed reactions: Our focus is provide a computational understanding of the mechanistic pathways and factors that control reactivity in these reactions. We are particularly interested in the role of ligands and counteranions in promoting reactivity, selectivity and enantioselectivity/regioselectivity/chemoselectivity.

Photoinduced synthesis: In collaboration with Prof. Sami Lakhdar we aim to develop new synthetic methods that take advantage of photochemical processes through understanding of photochemical processes in organic synthesis, including photoisomerization, photocyclization, and photooxidation/photoreduction.

Bi(III)/Bi(V)-catalyzed reactions: We are computationally developing mechanistic pathways that lead to new reactivity in organic synthesis by investigating the use of Bi(III)/Bi(V) catalysts for the synthesis of complex molecules, such as natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Pd-catalyzed reactions: Our research in this area provides a mechanistic understanding of cross-coupling reactions for the synthesis of complex molecules, including natural products, pharmaceuticals, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions: Our research in this area focuses on exploring the use of NHCs as ligands for various metal-catalyzed transformations to comprehensively understand the electronic and steric effects of close and remote substituents on NHCs, leading to develop more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes for organic synthesis.
