Main current Research interests:
- Streamlined installation of functional groups onto organic frameworks by means of organocatalytic direct functionalization of aliphatic C−H bonds via single-electron transfer processes.
- stereoselective transition metal-catalyzed olefin difunctionalization.
- Synthetic organic chemistry towards natural product total synthesis and late-stage functionalization of xenobiotics.
