The Lin Group

The Lin Group conducts research on a variety of interdisciplinary projects that address important societal issues such as the environment and sustainability, alternative energy sources, and human disease. We design metal-organic frameworks and related materials for a variety of applications such as heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis, photocatalysis, gas storage, and electrochemistry.

The Lin Group also develops new hybrid nanomaterials for biological and biomedical applications. These biocompatible and biodegradable nanomaterials are being evaluated as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging (OI), and computed tomography (CT) and as targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer. Exposure to these very diverse projects prepares the students and postdocs in the Lin group to take on challenging research problems in their independent careers.

The Nicewicz Group

Research in the Nicewicz Group focuses on developing new catalysts and methods for organic synthesis. In particular, our group seeks to harness the power of photoinduced electron transfer processes to drive the development of new asymmetric bond forming reactions. Additionally, we seek to apply these new reactions to the synthesis of biologically-active, complex natural products.
