Shimizu, Linda Szabo

Professor

Organic chemists use C-C bond forming strategies to elaborate molecules generating a myriad of compounds. Nature uses amides and phosphoamides to organize huge arrays of nanomaterials. We are interested in developing predictable supramolecular chemistry using non-covalent urea-urea interactions to build an array of structures and materials with a diverse array of applications.
