Our research program spans over several different areas. One of goals is to prepare highly efficient catalysts to accelerate chemical transformations using naturally occurring starting materials. Our strategy for catalyst design is to incorporate more than one metal centers into close proximity so that they can work on a given task as a team, similar to nature's design for many enzymes. This research holds the promise to transform the chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries by enabling the use of inexpensive and environmentally friendly starting materials and by improving the efficiency of the existing industrial processes. Another goal is to develop luminescent sensors for the detection of pollutants. Knowledge gained from this research will help monitor and protect our environment.

我们的研究项目涉及几个不同的领域。目标之一是制备高效的催化剂，以加速化学转化使用自然发生的起始材料。我们的催化剂设计策略是将多个金属中心紧密结合在一起，这样它们就可以作为一个团队来完成给定的任务，类似于自然界对许多酶的设计。这项研究有望通过使用廉价和环保的起始材料以及提高现有工业过程的效率来改变化学，石化和制药工业。另一个目标是开发用于检测污染物的发光传感器。从这项研究中获得的知识将有助于监测和保护我们的环境。
