Welcome to the Fieser Lab!We are excited about designing molecular catalysts that enable sustainable transformations. In particular, we are directing our focus to help tackle the problem of accumulating plastics in our environment and oceans.
Our group intends to target the synthesis of molecular inorganic complexes that can either: 1) catalyze the synthesis of degradable plastics that can act as replacements for commercial non-degradable plastics or 2) recycle or upcycle current plastics to obtain commercially useful chemicals.

Beach CleanupsThe Fieser group brings people together to cleanup up a Southern California beach at least 3 times a year. Since we started in 2019, we have collected over 212,537 items!
2024 Beach Cleanups are set for April 7, June 23 and Sept 29! |
