Personal profile
Research Focus
I am a green & sustainable chemist.
We are focussed on projects that drive the green and sustainable agenda in the blue economy and the pharmaceutical industries. We specialize in molecular catalysts, biocatalysts, ionic liquids, and mixtures of the three.
We are actively engaged in: valorizing waste products and biomass from marine sources (shells, seaweed); the application of biomimetic molecular catalysts that clean water; the immobilization of enzymes for the synthesis of active pharmacutical ingredients; the design of greener organic chemistry for cleaner fluorination of pharmaceutical intermediates.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
