Research in the Jurca Lab focuses on the use of synthetic inorganic chemistry in service of catalytic organic transformations, and thin film materials chemistry.
Our catalytic research focuses on the development of novel main-group metal based species capable of mediating reactions with less toxicity and cost than current late transition-metal catalysts.
Our thin film research centers on the development of inorganic small molecule precursors for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) growth of metal oxides and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs).
