Our research involves all aspects of chemical reactions, which turn molecules into other ones via the breaking and reforming of chemical bonds. We invent new reactions and develop catalysts to access novel molecules.

Research keywords: new chemical reactions, catalysis, novel molecules, feedstocks valorisation, synthetic methodology
