What inspires me
In the Thompson group, research is exploring the synthesis and use of pyrrole-containing molecules. My research focuses on the synthesis of dipyrrin ligands and their BODIPY complexes with the goal of application towards energy-transfer cassettes and light-harvesting systems. This will enable us to directly convert sunlight into energy that we can use in a diversity of applications.
