Research Interests

My research interests primarily focus on using non-toxic, earth abundant metals in modern day organometallic chemistry. Many industrial and pharmaceutical processes still rely on expensive, toxic and rare noble transition metal catalysts to perform aspects of their synthesis, whilst others use extremely energy intensive reaction conditions due to low activity catalysts. My research aims to replace these with efficient, earth-abundant equivalents whilst also exploring the fundamental properties of these underexplored elements.
