I am currently working on the development of new organocatalysts, the synthesis of silicon-containing amino acids, and the synthesis of bio-active pyrazoles. My writing projects currently include a review of sila amino acids, a book chapter on the catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction, and a short article for the new Google Knol format.
