Welcome to our lab!
We are a passionate and collaborative group of scientists who aim to accelerate the discovery process for sustainable chemistry using emerging technology and high-throughput experimentation. We focus on the development of tools and strategies for efficiently exploring the discovery of catalysts, synthetic routes, and the optimization of reactions.
Both groups worked together to develop a Fe and Ni metallaphotoredox system for the selective decarboxylative arylation of carboxylic acids.
Together they have developed a benchtop-stable iron diethylenetriamine (L1)Fe system that significantly expands the scope of decarboxylative Giese-type additions.
Together, they studied the application of algal biochar to prevent heavy metal leachates from mine tailings.
At the 2024 Scialog Meeting on "Automating Chemical Laboratories" Prof. Ackerman-Biegasiewicz and Prof. Gomes came together to discuss a data-driven approach for derisking chemical synthesis. Their groups were awarded a Collaborative Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). Graduate students Andy Tran, Hannah Ford, and Sneha Nayak will…
