Labs here
Dunwei Wang
Chemistry
Test whether short, intense light pulses followed by low-light intervals can steer the photocatalytic coupling of methane and carbon monoxide toward acetone rather than overoxidation to carbon dioxide.
Peter Zhang
Chemistry
Design and synthesize D₂-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligands, ring-shaped handed scaffolds, to support cobalt(II) metalloradical catalysts that steer radical reactions.
Eranthie Weerapana
Chemistry
Dissect how iron-sulfur clusters, metal cofactors essential for energy metabolism, are assembled on mitochondrial proteins by profiling the cysteines involved with compartment-targeted chemoproteomic probes.
Alyssa Goldman
Social Science·Early-career
Estimate how personal social networks and social activities like volunteering change during the final five years of life, using growth curve models on National Health and Aging Trends Study data.
X. Peter Zhang
Chemistry
Develop cobalt(II) complexes of D2-symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin ligands as chiral metalloradical catalysts, tuning their electronic, steric and chiral properties to control radical reactivity and stereoselectivity.
