Organic Chemistry
The research conducted within the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry is directed towards the study of organic reactivity at the forefront of 21st century chemistry, specifically at the overlap of nanotechnology, chemical biology, and organic synthesis.
Research
Our research consists of three main themes that together focus on the study and development of organic reactions and (bio-)organic molecules at/relevant for surfaces.
