Teaching Interests
My training lies in organic chemistry, with a particular emphasis on metal-catalyzed organic reactions. As such my teaching interests lie in organic chemistry, total synthesis, catalysis, and organometallics. At Bloomsburg University my main focus lies in biologically relevant organic chemistry, including a heavy dose of "green" chemical methods.
Research Interests
Research in my group focuses on reactivity and organic synthesis, both broadly defined. My particular interests lie in the growing field of chemical catalysis using small organic molecules as catalysts. A particular emphasis is placed on highly reactive species that are kept "dormant" until they are "unmasked" in the reaction pot by application of a stimulus such as heat or light. Further information on my research interests is coming to this location near you.
