The research interests of my group are deeply rooted in the exploration of important non-natural aromatic systems. The group utilizes current synthetic methodology for the preparation of novel organic materials and compounds of theoretical interest. We investigate these compounds by modern physical organic methods in order to determine the important physical and chemical properties of these systems, such as conductivity, non-linear optical activity, through-bond and through-space electronic interactions. Graduate and undergraduate students are actively involved in all aspects of the research, thus acquiring a strong synthetic and theoretical background.
