Topic: Energy-relevant chemical synthesis at the interface of inorganic and organic chemistry

Research in the Gilliard Laboratory is multidisciplinary and combines various aspects of organic, inorganic, main-group, and materials chemistry. We develop novel synthetic methods to access molecules that are important for solving problems related to environmental sustainability, energy conversion, and the discovery of next-generation electronics.
