Graduate Research Highlights

"We have developed a methodology for treating quantum nuclear effects within the framework of classical mechanics which allows for their inclusion in molecular dynamics simulations at a fraction of the cost."

"My research focuses on understanding the roles of specific lipids during necroptosis, a unique type of programmed cell death which has been associated with pathologies including neurodegenerative diseases, ischaemia-reperfusion injuries, and cancer."

"My thesis research project focuses on developing new charge carriers for redox flow batteries (RFBs) using molecular-level design principles guided by electrochemical analysis to address stability, solubility and energy density."

"My research focuses on exploring oxygen as a reagent and/or oxidant for copper-catalyzed reactions that are useful for the synthesis of nitrogen and oxygen based heterocycles."

"My graduate research is primarily focused on the synthesis of reactive bottlebrush copolymers and their use in forming macromolecular architectures such as star-brush polymers, network structures, hydrogels, and nanogels."

"My research interest is on the impact of nanoparticles on plant systems and cell lines. I look for metabolomic changes in these systems using liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry."

"My research focuses on developing organomanganese catalysts for photochemical water splitting. Our long-term goal is to achieve photocatalytic conversion of water to H₂ and O₂ using earth-abundant single-site organometallic complexes."

Alex’s research focuses on understanding the influence of solvent such as water on the structural and nuclear magnetic resonance properties of heavy element complexes.
