Why Dal?

Cutting-edge research and exciting projects.

What inspires me

Organometallic chemistry is an exciting field that combines organic and inorganic chemistry. I enjoy studying the interaction of metals with organic compounds and determining the utility of metal-organic complexes in promoting new or difficult reactions. With this knowledge I hope to develop streamlined chemical processes that use less energy and that are less wasteful.
