"Regio- and Stereocontrol with Anions and Radicals"

Abstract: Dienolates and their synthetic equivalents provide a versatile platform for regioselective functionalization reactions owing to their ambident reactivity, although factors influencing site selective vary widely. We have extensively explored radical additions to neutral polarized dienes as a potential solution to the problem of regiocontrolled γ-functionalization of cyclic ketones and related congeners. Integral to these studies are the...

"Shining Light and Making Molecules Dance: Theoretical Explorations in X-ray Spectroscopies and Ultrafast Dynamics"

Abstract: Understanding how charge and nuclear motion evolve within a molecule following photoexcitation is central to unraveling the fundamental principles that govern photoinduced processes in chemistry and materials. X-rays, with their element-specific sensitivity, provide a unique window into these ultrafast...
