In the field of synthetic chemistry Research Students’ main focus is on Inorganic and Organic synthesis, Bioorganic chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, as well as Biocatalysis, Metal Catalysis and metal-free catalysis. The major research areas include carbohydrate synthesis, catalytic activation of small molecules, biorefinery applications involving lignocellulosic biomass processing and analytics, and the chemistry of nucleic acid constituents. Computational chemistry assisted synthesis and the design of novel catalysts, as well as high-level structural characterization of substrates by various specific spectroscopic techniques are essential parts of the research program.
