Biography

Co-Director

Department of Chemistry, McGill University
Regular Researcher

Our research lies at the intersection of transition metal catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry.  It has as its goal the discovery of new synthetic methodologies that are efficient, Green, and provide direct access to important compounds, such as pharmaceutical cores, biomolecules, new polymers, or advanced materials.  We have projects that span a variety of these areas. Examples include new methods to merge light and electrochemical energy use with synthesis, catalytic coupling reactions, carbonylations, multicomponent chemistry, and alternative approaches to asymmetric catalysis.

Key Words : catalysis, transition metal, organic, visible light photochemistry, electrochemistry, carbonylations, cross coupling, polymers, multicomponent reactions.
