Areas of Expertise: Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry, Coordination Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry and Bioinorganic Chemistry RESEARCH INTERESTS My research focuses on synthetic inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, utilising an interdisciplinary approach to design and develop inorganic compounds and materials for biomedical and technological applications. These projects encompass a variety of metal ions, as well as numerous carefully designed ligand systems. Moreover, a vast panoply of techniques and methods is used to thoroughly understand their properties.
