Research interests

Our multidisciplinary research focuses on making new molecules and materials for applications in biomedicine, catalysis, spintronics, and green energy technologies. These projects encompass a variety of metal ions, as well as numerous carefully designed ligand systems. We employ a combination of experimental and theoretical methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of their chemical behaviour and discover new properties

There is always more to learn, discover, and employ for tackling some of the most pressing global challenges.
