  • Understanding photocatalytic aziridination

    Alana, Mihai, and Arindam formed an unstoppable collaboration team through the SuPRCat CCI with the Paton and Damrauer groups to understand a new, remarkably general method for photocatalytic alkene aziridination. A combination of preparative, computational, …

  • Predicting Ir emissions using AI

    We had a great collaboration with the Schmidt group on an AI model for predicting the emission spectra of Ir complexes. Based on a big data set collected and published by the Bernhard group. Now …

  • Asymmetric Paternò–Büchi Reaction

    Jesse, Tahoe, Wes, and Yerin have a terrific new paper in JACS today about the long road to an asymmetric catalytic Paternò–Büchi reaction. A great collaboration with Kent and the Wright lab at UW.
