Connor Koellner

Connor Koellner serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Mary Baldwin University, focusing on bioinorganic research with environmental sustainability applications.

His work investigates enzymatic and catalytic processes through the synthesis of biologically motivated metallocomplexes, serving as structural and functional models of enzymatic active sites. Key methodologies include 'air-free' synthetic practices, recrystallization for material purity, and analytical techniques spanning routine characterization to homogeneous catalysis.

Primary research domains:

• Inorganic Chemistry
• Bioinorganic Chemistry
• Catalysis
• Enzyme Mimics
• Metallocomplexes

Dr. Koellner's research addresses energy demands through nature-inspired technological development, emphasizing environmental impact reduction in synthetic chemistry applications.
