Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| Jung's group is currently focusing on two areas encompassing medicinal chemistry and future energy using organic synthesis as a tool. Regarding medicinal chemistry, Jung studies on the development of synthetic methodologies and their utilization towards the syntheses of biologically important natural products as well as structurally novel artificial biomolecules. Recently, Jung's group launched a new program towards the development of novel catalysts and catalytic methods to provide alternative fuel and energy sources. Jung's group studies on novel methods to generate C1 - C2 compounds from various abundant resources for future energy. | |
