My research interests are mainly within organic chemistry, where my primary focus is the development of new synthetic strategies towards functionalized indole compounds and their application towards the synthesis of natural products. The main objective of my research and teaching program is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to apply their chemical knowledge while conducting independent research. Throughout the program, students gain valuable knowledge as they experience every aspect of working in an organic chemistry laboratory. Students will design and execute synthetic strategies while learning the advanced laboratory techniques involved with performing a variety of chemical transformations, including compound purification and elucidation.
