Research interests include:
- Design of iron-based N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for photophysical applications
- Asymmetric synthesis of natural products like thiosilvatins and glionitrins
- Development of electro-mechanically switchable hydrocarbons using [8]annulene scaffolds
- Targeting Bcl-3 for melanoma treatment through small molecule inhibitors
Recent articles highlight trends in iron coordination chemistry, asymmetric catalysis, and oncology-focused drug development. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and environmental sustainability.
