Karl's Little Green Website

Hello and welcome to my personal website! I'm currently a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, where I study chemistry under Dr. Kevin J.T. Noonan and Dr. Roberto R. Gil. This is my research group!

Publications

  1. Reference-free NOE NMR analysis My first paper!
  2. Statistical copolymers of thiophene-3-carboxylates and selenophene-3-carboxylates; 77 Se NMR as a tool to examine copolymer sequence in selenophene-based conjugated polymers Some fun explorations of Selenium-77 NMR!
  3. Regioselective Hydroxylation of Unsymmetrical Ketones Using Cu, H2O2, and Imine Directing Groups via Formation of an Electrophilic Cupric Hydroperoxide Core Helping identify Regioselectivity via NOESY!
  4. Beyond Mimicking Enzymes: NewTAML/Peroxide Abstracts sp3 C–H Bonds to Initiate Biotranscendent Water-Purifying Mineralization of Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics Tracking Ofloxacin Degradation!
  5. Examining the Impact of Side-Chain Chirality on Conformation of a Helical Poly(3-(S-1-ethylhexyl)esterfuran) Characterizing Helical Polyfurans using 2D NMR!
