Catalytic reactions can have an impact in a wide range of areas, helping to facilitate processes ranging from energy production to the synthesis of medicines. I am particularly interested in selective oxidation reactions and the development of processes which use sustainable oxidants such as molecular oxygen or peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide. Projects in the group address different challenges associated with this area, with students gaining knowledge in areas such as  synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical-organic chemistry (kinetics & spectroscopy) and reaction engineering.
