Research

The Dydio group is researching new ways to improve the efficiency and capacity of organic synthesis.

Areas of interest include:

  • Complex Networks of Reactions
  • Mechanism-based design of new transformations
  • Advancing key industrial processes driven by elucidating their mechanistic features
