"My research activities combine organic syntheses, polymerization strategies and polymer modification reactions in creative ways to afford unique macromolecular structures"
"My research spans topics in synthetic, structural and physical inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry."
"The ultimate, home-run, goal of my work is to synthesize and develop a robust, highly active hydrogen-producing catalyst comprised of earth-abundant transition metals within a ligand environment that is inspired by the biological hydrogenase (H2ase) enzyme active sites."
"My research interests are quantum coherence effects such as EIT, slow light, LWI, etc. "
"My research centers on insecticides, from both the toxins' and the insects' perspective."
"The long term goal of my lab's research is to seek better approaches for diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of fungal diseases."
"My research interests include Industrial Organization, Markets and Information Economics, Behavioral Economics, Experimental Economics, and Applied Econometrics. "
"Research in the Chen group aims to apply biomolecular engineering principles to solve a variety of biological problems."
