Research statement
I collaborate with the Wackett Lab assisting in issues regarding organic chemistry: synthesis, purification, isolation, structure identification and stereochemistry using spectroscopic methods. A long-range project attempts to build organic ligands that mimic the position of protein functionality in the active site of carbonic anhydrase.
