Interests: Spectroscopic and biochemical studies to investigate structure/function relationships in gas-sensing heme proteins.
Interests: Physical and synthetic organic chemistry, especially enamines, amines, and organophosphorus compounds.
Interests: Synthetic organometallic chemistry, especially transition metal carbonyl compounds with amines or with alkenes or other pi-donor ligands.
Interests: The role of chloramines and other reactive oxidants in killing of microbes by neutrophils.
Interests: Use of Palladium catalysts to generate small, highly functionalized rings.
Making molecules using readily available carbohydrates instead of using the nearly depeated petroleum reserves.
Interests: Ab initio calculations of atoms and small molecules. Molecular spectroscopy, reaction kinetics, and electrochemistry.
Interests: Interfacial, surface, thin-film, and membrane chemistry and phenomena. Analytical aspects of environmental issues.
