Chemical Synthesis and Catalysis

About Us
We are dedicated to the discovery and development of practical molecular transformations within the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Our research explores the untapped potential of organic, inorganic, and organometallic molecules, uncovering previously unknown and hidden chemical reactivities. Our primary goal is to design innovative reactions and catalysts that enable unique connections and disconnections of chemical bonds, leading to the creation of novel molecular architectures. With a holistic approach to chemical reactivity, our research enables the development of new molecular transformations, supporting the synthesis of valuable compounds with both material and medicinal relevance.
New Project
We are now part of the collaborative project titled "Traversing Geodesics in Discovery−Development Space from Novel Electrophotocatalysis to Sustainable and Scalable Manufacturing Processes". As part of the prestigious 27th Competitive Research Project (CRP) grant call by the National Research Foundation (NRF), our interdisciplinary initiative is dedicated to advancing the forefront of photo−electro−catalysis research, bringing together the intellectual might of Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore, and the practical expertise of our industry collaborator Syngenta.
