My FLF pioneers a new general modality to assemble added-value molecules with precise shapes, decreasing the time and cost of synthesis of medicines, agrochemicals, fine chemicals and materials. I lead world-class research on stereoselective catalysis, working closely with data scientists and industry.

Catalysis underpins the manufacturing of 90% of products for our developed world. My team devises systems to enable new catalytic reactions to happen, or render the existing ones more selective, thus contributing to a more sustainable use of natural resources. We have pioneered the design of new metal catalysts and studied their mode of action. I’d love to connect with students, researchers and companies passionate about improving catalysis.
