Quantum chemical investigations of the reaction mechanism of the manganese catalyzed water oxidation, and elucidation and development of the reaction mechanism of the hydroboration of carbon dioxide in absence and presence of a manganese-containing catalyst.

Researcher embedded in the Advanced Catalytic Transformation program for Carbon utilization (ACT-C), with main focus on the development and description of catalysts for asymmetric C-H bond activation with computational chemistry methods; and the elucidation of the mechanism for the C-O bond activation via nickel catalysis.
