Research

I combine three-dimensional molecular and electronic-state information with data-driven methods to predict reaction selectivity and identify its physical-organic origins.

Topics

Research Areas

Stereoelectronic-State Informatics

Building representations that treat molecular three-dimensional structure and electronic states as features for explaining reactivity and selectivity.

Prediction and Interpretation of Reaction Selectivity

Analyzing how steric and electronic factors control nucleophilic additions to ketones and asymmetric reductions.

Data-Driven Reaction Analysis

Combining machine learning and computational chemistry to derive predictive models and chemically meaningful interpretations from reaction data.

The detailed research page connects the central questions, analytical workflow, and relationships among these themes.
